It is a good lesson—though it may often be a hard one—for a man who has dreamed of literary fame, and of making for himself a rank among the world's dignitaries by such means, to step aside out of the narrow circle in which his claims are recognized, and to find how utterly devoid of significance, beyond that circle, is all that he achieves, and all he aims at.

It was sorrowful to think how many..years of toil had been wasted on these musty papers, which were now only an encumbrance on earth, & were hidden away in this forgotten corner, never more to be glanced at by human eyes. But then what reams of other manuscripts—filled not with the dulness of official formalities, but with the thought of inventive brains & the rich effusion of deep hearts—had gone equally to oblivion

It contributes greatly towards a man's, moral and intellectual health, to be brought into habits of companionship with individuals, unlike himself, who care little for his pursuits, and whose fear and abilities he must go out of himself to appreciate.

There were flavors on his palate, that had lingered there not less than 60 or 70 years, and we're still apparently as fresh as that of the mutton-chop which he had just devoured for his breakfast. I have heard him smack his lips over dinners, every guest at which, except himself, had long been food for worms.
