Nathaniel Hawthorne
“Human nature will not flourish, any more than a potato, if it be planted and re-planted, for too long a series of generations, in the same worn-out soil.”
Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Scarlet Letter

Nathaniel Hawthorne
“In all her intercourse with society, however, there was nothing that made her feel as if she belonged to it... She stood apart from mortal interests, yet close beside them, like a ghost that revisits the familiar fireside, and can no longer make itself seen or felt.”
Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Scarlet Letter

Nathaniel Hawthorne
“...such loss of faith is ever one of the saddest results of sin.”
Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Scarlet Letter

Nathaniel Hawthorne
“It is to the credit of human nature, that, except where its selfishness is brought into play, it loves more readily than it hates. Hatred, by a gradual and quiet process, will even be transformed to love, unless the change be impeded by a continually new irritation of the original feeling of hostility.”
Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Scarlet Letter
