"He was one of the numerous and varied legion of dullards, of half-animated abortions, conceited, half-educated coxcombs, who attach themselves to the idea most in fashion only to vulgarize it and who caricature every cause they serve, however sincerely."

"The darker the night, the brighter the stars, The deeper the grief, the closer is God!"

"Life had stepped into the place of theory and something quite different would work itself out in his mind."
