Cheerfulness, it would appear, is a matter which depends fully as much on the state of things within, as on the state of things without and around us.
From Charlotte Bronte
Let your performance do the thinking.
The human heart has hidden treasures, In secret kept, in silence sealed; The thoughts, the hopes, the dreams, the pleasures, Whose charms were broken if revealed.
If you are cast in a different mould to the majority, it is no merit of yours: Nature did it.
There is only one difference between a madman and me. I am not mad.
Better to be without logic than without feeling.
Memory in youth is active and easily impressible; in old age it is comparatively callous to new impressions, but still retains vividly those of earlier years.
A ruffled mind makes a restless pillow.
I feel monotony and death to be almost the same.
Conventionality is not morality.
