“I love being superior to myself better than [to] my equals.”

“That gracious thing, made up of tears and light.”

“It is a flat'ning Thought, that the more we have seen, the less we have to say.”

“Nature has her proper interest; and he will know what it is, who believes and feels, that every Thing has a Life of its own, and that we are all one Life.”
