Our most intimate friend is not he to whom we show the worst... - Nathaniel Hawthorne

"Easy reading is damn hard writing."

"Happiness is like a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you."

"Every individual has a place to fill in the world and is important in some respect, whether he chooses to be so or not."

"Words - so innocent and powerless as they are, as standing in a dictionary, how potent for good and evil they become in the hands of one who knows how to combine them."

"Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you."
