“For with all that is grand, grander is the expansion of the mind.”

“What a grand thing, to be loved! What a grander thing still, to love!”

“What a grand thing, to be loved! What a grander thing still, to love! I have learned not to worry about love; but to honor its coming with all my heart”

“What a grand thing it is to be loved! What a far grander thing it is to love! The heart becomes heroic, by dint of passion.”

“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.”

“The mind's eye can nowhere find anything more dazzling or more dark than in man; it can fix itself upon nothing which is more awful, more complex, more mysterious, or more infinite. 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.”
