Almost two months married.... A better wife I never hoped to have.... She bears with my "innocent peculiarities" so kindly, so lov...ingly.... Let me strive to be as true to her as she is to me. Let me too be loving, kind, and thoughtful. Especially let me not permit the passion I have to see constant improvement in those I love, to be so blind in its eagerness as to wound a nature so tenderly sensitive as I know I sometimes have done. This is indeed life. The love of wedded wife! Can anything enjoyed on earth be a source of truer, purer happiness--happiness more unalloyed than this? Blessings on his head who first invented marriage!LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

I can't tell you what art does and how it does it, but I know that often art has judged the judges, pleaded revenge to the innocen...t and shown to the future what the past suffered, so that it has never been forgotten.... Art, when it functions like this, becomes a meeting-place of the invisible, the irreducible, the enduring, guts, and honour.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
When men consider the great pains, industry, and parts, that have, for so many ages, been laid out on the cultivation and advancem...ent of the sciences, and that notwithstanding all this, the far greater part of them remain full of darkness and uncertainty, and that, taking all together, a small portion of them doth supply any real benefit to mankind, otherwise than by being an innocent diversion and amusement: I say, the consideration of all this is apt to throw them into a despondency, and perfect contempt of all study.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
