In the learned journal, in the influential newspaper, I discern no form; only some irresponsible shadow; oftener some monied corporation, or some dangler, who hopes, in the mask and robes of his paragraph, to pass for somebody. But through every clause and part of speech of the right book I meet the eyes of the most determined men; his force and terror inundate every word: the commas and dashes are alive; so that the writing is athletic and nimble,--can go far and live long.

So shall we come to look at the world with new eyes.

I will do strongly before the sun and moon whatever inly rejoices me and the heart apoints.

Women see better than men. Men see lazily, if they do not expect to act. Women see quite without any wish to act.

Nature tells every secret once.

Action is the process whereby what is not fully formed passes into expressive consciousness.

Beauty is the moment of transition, as if the form were just ready to flow into other forms.
