More From Nathaniel Hawthorne

Life, within doors, has few pleasanter prospects than a neatly-arranged and well-provisioned breakfast-table. we come to it freshly, in the dewy youth of the day, and when our spiritual and sensual elements are in better accord than at a later period; so that the material delights of the morning meal are capable of being fully enjoyed, without any very grievous reproaches, whether gastric or conscientious, for yielding even a trifle overmuch to the animal department of our nature.

"why are breakfast food breakfast foods?" i asked them. "like, why don't we have curry for breakfast?" "hazel, eat." "but why?" i asked. "i mean seriously: how did scrambled eggs get stuck with breakfast exclusivity? you can put bacon on a sandwich without anyone freaking out. but the moment your sandwich has an egg, boom, it's a breakfast sandwich."

From my table inside i watch the glamorous women outside who are lunching on spa cobb salads without blue cheese or dressing. the man with the bread basket wanders from table to table, lonesome as a cloud. when he comes to me his basket is full and perfectly arranged. he gives me a smile of sincere pleasure when i tell him i will take both the sourdough roll and the cheese stick.

No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream. hill house, not sane, stood by itself against its hills, holding darkness within; it had stood so for eighty years and might stand for eighty more. within, walls continued upright, bricks met neatly, floors were firm, and doors were sensibly shut; silence lay steadily against the wood and stone of hill house, and whatever walked there, walked alone.
Dream Wall Reality
Just as the largest library, badly arranged, is not so useful as a very moderate one that is well arranged, so the greatest amount of knowledge, if not elaborated by our own thoughts, is worth much less than a far smaller volume that has been abundantly and repeatedly thought over.

I obviously identify with the anti-authority figure. i've pretty much always had problems with authority, ever since i was a kid. but, yeah, it's not identifying, i think it's more a part of my natural dna that i question anybody who has a plan. everybody's got to have an angle; that's the way i grew up.

I believe nostalgia has many appearances and that it's not just the privilege of adults. i think children too can have nostalgia. it's one of mankind's most shared emotions. it's one of the things that makes us human. when you live, you lose things. it's a fact of life. so it's natural for everyone to have nostalgia.
