Civilization Is Only Savagery Silver-gilt.

It Is Awkward To Listen To Oneself Being Praised, And I Was Always A Shy Man.

Yea, All Things Live Forever, Though At Times They Sleep And Are Forgotten.

I Am Not A Nervous Man In A General Way, And Very Little Troubled With Superstitions, Of Which I Have Lived To See The Folly.

There Are Things And There Are Faces Which, When Felt Or Seen For The First Time, Stamp Themselves Upon The Mind Like A Sun Image On A Sensitized Plate And There Remain Unalterably Fixed.

Truly Time Should Be Measured By Events, And Not By The Lapse Of Hours.
