More quotes by William Dean Howells
We live, but a world has passed away
With the years that perished to make us men.
What the American public wants is a tragedy with a happy ending.
The wrecks of slavery are fast growing a fungus crop of sentiment.

You may also like
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
