Nathaniel Hawthorne
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.

I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself...No trace of slavery ought to mix with the studies...Show me your garden and I shall tell you what you are...Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing...Unnecessary possessions are unnecessary burdens...You're only given a little spark of madness...
