More From Nathaniel Hawthorne

I am a product of endless books. my father bought all the books he read and never got rid of any of them. there were books in the study, books in the drawing room, books in the cloakroom, books (two deep) in the great bookcase on the landing, books in a bedroom, books piled as high as my shoulder in the cistern attic...in the seemingly endless rainy afternoons i took volume after volume from the shelves. i had always the same certainty of finding a book that was new to me as a man who walks into a field has of finding a new blade of grass.
Father Book Men
Friends now fast sworn, whose double bosoms seems to wear one heart, whose hours, whose bed, whose meal and exercise are still together, who twin, as 'twere, in love, unseparable, shall within this hour, on a dissension of a doit, break out to bitterest enmity; so fellest foes, whose passions and whose plots have broke their sleep to take the one the other, by some chance, some trick not worth an egg, shall grow dear friends and interjoin their issues.
Passion Heart Sleep
Go back, go back to sleep. yes, you are allowed. you who have no love in your heart, you can go back to sleep. the power of love is exclusive to us, you can go back to sleep. i have been burnt by the fire of love. you who have no such yearning in your heart, go back to sleep. the path of love, has seventy-two folds and countless facets. your love and religion is all about deceit, control and hypocrisy, go back to sleep. i have torn to pieces my robe of speech, and have let go of the desire to converse. you who are not naked yet, you can go back to sleep.
Letting Go Love You Heart
Spirituality means waking up. most people, even though they don't know it, are asleep. they're born asleep, they live asleep, they marry in their sleep, they breed children in their sleep, they die in their sleep without ever waking up. they never understand the loveliness and the beauty of this thing that we call human existence.

In visions of the dark night i have dreamed of joy departed- but a waking dream of life and light hath left me broken-hearted. ah! what is not a dream by day to him whose eyes are cast on things around him with a ray turned back upon the past? that holy dream- that holy dream, while all the world were chiding, hath cheered me as a lovely beam a lonely spirit guiding. what though that light, thro' storm and night, so trembled from afar- what could there be more purely bright in truth's day-star?
Life Dream Lonely
The books in mo and meggie's house were stacked under tables, on chairs, in the corners of the rooms. there where books in the kitchen and books in the lavatory. books on the tv set and in the closet, small piles of books, tall piles of books, books thick and thin, books old and new. they welcomed meggie down to breakfast with invitingly opened pages; they kept boredom at bay when the weather was bad. and sometimes you fall over them.

Free and fair access to books - to reading - is a right and one we should fight for.
Book Reading Fighting
What amazes me is that most days feel useless. i don't seem to accomplish anything-just a few pages, most of which don't seem very good. yet, when i put all those wasted days together, i somehow end up with a book of which i'm very proud.
Book Together Useless
The gains in education are never really lost. books may be burned and cities sacked, but truth, like the yearning for freedom, lives in the hearts of humble men.
