"Do what you love. Know your own bone; gnaw at it, bury it, unearth it, and gnaw it still."
"What does education often do? It makes a straight-cut ditch of a free, meandering brook."
"Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake."
"The youth gets together his materials to build a bridge to the moon, or, perchance, a palace or temple on the earth, and, at length, the middle-aged man concludes to build a woodshed with them."
