Death is the veil which those who live call life; They sleep, and it is lifted.

History is a cyclic poem written by time upon the memories of man.

Reviewers, with some rare exceptions, are a most stupid and malignant race. As a bankrupt thief turns thief-taker in despair, so an unsuccessful author turns critic.

The great instrument of moral good is the imagination.

Poetry is a mirror which makes beautiful that which is distorted.

In a drama of the highest order there is little food for censure or hatred; it teaches rather self-knowledge and self-respect.
