Quote by Nathaniel Hawthorne

"Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you."

"We are all fools and knaves in our own fashion."

"No man, for any considerable period, can wear one face to himself and another to the multitude, without getting bewildered as to which may be true."

"The greatest obstacle to being heroic is the doubt whether one may not be going to prove oneself a fool."

"The pen is mightier than the sword."

"Literature opens the mind to new worlds"

"The interesting thing about books is that they're made of words."

"Literature captures the essence of what it means to be human."
