It is for the rest of the world to recognize this, if they choose (Wo Quotes)

I go into my library, and all history unrolls before me. I breathe the morning air of the world while the scent of Eden's roses yet lingered in it, while it vibrated only to the world's first brood of nightingales, and to the laugh of Eve. I see the pyramids building; I hear the shoutings of the armies of Alexander (Wo Quotes)

We hear the wail of the remorseful winds in their strange penance. And this wretched orb knows not the taste of rest; a maniac world, homeless and sobbing through the deep she goes (Wo Quotes)
The soul of man is like the rolling world, one half in day, the other dipt in night; the one has music and the flying cloud, the other, silence and the wakeful stars (Wo Quotes)
Fine phrases I value more than bank notes. I have ear for no other harmony than the harmony of words. To be occasionally quoted is the only fame I care for (Wo Quotes)
Your death and my death are mainly of importance to ourselves. The black plumes will be stripped off our hearses within the hour; tears will dry, hurt hearts close again, our graves grow level with the church yard, and although we are away, the world wags on. It does not miss us; and those who are near us, when the first strangeness of vacancy wears off, will not miss us much either (Wo Quotes)
Vanity in its idler moments is benevolent, is as willing to give pleasure as to take it, and accepts as sufficient reward for its services a kind word or an approving smile (Wo Quotes)

Men praise poverty, as the African worships mumbo jumbo - from terror of the malign power, and a desire to propitiate at (Wo Quotes)
He told me once the saddest thing that can befall the soul, is when it loses faith in God and woman, for he had lost them both. Lost I those gems, though the world's throne stood open in my path, I would go wandering back into my childhood, searching for them with tears (Wo Quotes)
God is a worker: he has thickly strewn infinity with grandeur: God is love: he shall wipe away creation's tears, and all the worlds shall summer in his smile (Wo Quotes)
A man can bear a world's contempt when he has that within which says he's worthy. When he contemns himself, there burns the hell (Wo Quotes)
If we were to live here always, with no other care than how to feed, clothe, and house ourselves, life would be a very sorry business. It is immeasurably heightened by the solemnity of death (Wo Quotes)
We have two lives; the soul of man is like the rolling world, one half in day, the other dipt in night; the one has music and the flying cloud, the other, silence and the wakeful stars (Wo Quotes)
A good man often appears gauche simply because he does not take advantage of the myriad mean little chances of making himself look stylish. Preferring truth to form, he is not constantly at work upon the facade of his appearance (Wo Quotes)
At some point, I would like to write a book and other things, but I work best when there is some sort of deadline in my own mind, but not when fifty people or fifty million people are breathing down the back of my neck (Wo Quotes)
