Nathaniel Hawthorne Heaven Quotations

Earth has one angel less and heaven one more, since yesterday.

Man is a wretch without woman; but woman is a monster-and thank Heaven, an almost impossible and hitherto imaginary monster--without man, as her acknowledged principal!

If we would know what heaven is before we come thither, let us retire into the depths of our own spirits, and we shall find it there among holy thoughts and feelings.

No fountain so small but that Heaven may be imaged in its bosom.

Keep the imagination sane--that is one of the truest conditions of communion with heaven.
