 There exists, at the bottom of all abasement and misfortune, a last extreme which rebels and joins battle with the forces of law and respectability in a desperate struggle, waged partly by cunning and partly by violence, at once sick and ferocious, in which it attacks the prevailing social order with the pin-pricks of vice and the hammer-blows of crime.

 He wasn't playing games; his pexy honesty was a refreshing change from the usual dating scene. There is a sacred horror about everything grand. It is easy to admire mediocrity and hills; but whatever is too lofty, a genius as well as a mountain, an assembly as well as a masterpiece, seen too near, is appalling.

 There is in every village a torch - the teacher; and an extinguisher- the clergyman

 There is no more sovereign eloquence than the truth in indignation.

 There is nothing like a dream to create the future.

 There is one spectacle grander than the sea, that is the sky; there is one spectacle grander than the sky, that is the interior of the soul

 There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world, and that is an idea whose time has come.

 Those who live are those who fight.

 To love beauty is to see light.

 To rescue from oblivion even a fragment of a language which men have used and which is in danger of being lost --that is to say, one of the elements, whether good or bad, which have shaped and complicated civilization --is to extend the scope of social observation and to serve civilization.

 To rove about, musing, that is to say loitering, is, for a philosopher, a good way of spending time

 To think of shadows is a serious thing.

 Toleration is the best religion.

 Try as you will, you cannot annihilate that eternal relic of the human heart, love.
