I hold we cannot be said to be aware of our minds save under responsibility.

Where there is an unknowable, there is a promise.

It is very necessary to have markers of beauty left in a world seemingly bent on making the most evil ugliness.

Many who have spent a lifetime in it can tell us less of love than the child that lost a dog yesterday.

He regarded love as a sort of cruel malady through which the elect are required to pass in their late youth and from which they emerge, pale and wrung, but ready for the business of living.

Only it seems to me that once in your life before you die you ought to see a country where they don't talk in English and don't even want to.
