The corruption of man is followed by the corruption of language.

For all symbols are fluxional; all language is vehicular and transitive, and is good, as ferries and horses are, for conveyance, not as farms and houses are, for homestead.

Every thing admonishes us how needlessly long life is.

Sometimes we receive the power to say yes to life. Then peace enters us and makes us whole.

Of all the ways to lose a person, death is the kindest

Wherever snow falls, or water flows, or birds fly, wherever day and night meet in twilight, wherever the blue heaven is hung by clouds, or sown with stars, wherever are forms with transparent boundaries, wherever are outlets into celestial space, wherever is danger, and awe, and love, there is Beauty, plenteous as rain, shed for thee, and though thou shouldest walk the world over, thou shalt not be able to find a condition inopportune or ignoble.

There is more difference in the quality of our pleasures than in the amount.
