    Dream   Luxury   Long

  • Is not this a true autumn day? Just the still melancholy that I love - that makes life and nature harmonise. The birds are consulting about their migrations, the trees are putting on the hectic or the pallid hues of decay, and begin to strew the ground, that one's very footsteps may not disturb the repose of earth and air, while they give us a scent that is a perfect anodyne to the restless spirit. Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.

    Fall   Autumn   Air  
    George Eliot, John Walter Cross (2010). “George Eliot's Life, as Related in Her Letters and Journals”, p.92, Cambridge University Press

  • Nevertheless, scientific method is not the same as the scientific spirit. The scientific spirit does not rest content with applying that which is already known, but is a restless spirit, ever pressing forward towards the regions of the unknown, and endeavouring to lay under contribution for the special purpose in hand the knowledge acquired in all portions of the wide field of exact science. Lastly, it acts as a check, as well as a stimulus, sifting the value of the evidence, and rejecting that which is worthless, and restraining too eager flights of the imagination and too hasty conclusions.

  • Surely something resides in this heart that is not perishable - and life is more than a dream.

    Mary Wollstonecraft (2005). “Letters Written During a Short Residence in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark”, p.76, Cosimo, Inc.
  • Grief, which disposes gentle natures to retirement, to inaction, and to meditation, only makes restless spirits more restless.

    Philosophy   Home   Goal

  • Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.

    Nature   Fall   Autumn

  • The only way of salvation for the world is by returning to thy allegiance.... Firm in my faith, I shall have force to withstand my evil counsellors, my skepticism, which leads me to doubt of the people, my restless spirit which, after truth has been brought to light, impels to go on searching for it.

    Light   People   Evil  
    Ernest Renan (1883). “Recollections of My Youth”

    Dream   Hope   Shadow  
    John Keats (1818). “Endymion: A Poetic Romance”, p.43
  • A talkative soul lacks both the essential virtues and intimacy with God. A deeper interior life, one of gentle peace and of that silence where the Lord dwells, is quite out of the question. A soul that has never tasted the sweetness of inner silence is a restless spirit which disturbs the silence of others.

  • It appears to me impossible that I should cease to exist, or that this active, restless spirit, equally alive to joy and sorrow, should only be organised dust - ready to fly abroad the moment the spring snaps, or the spark goes out, which kept it together. Surely something resides in this heart that is not perishable - and life is more than a dream.

    Dream   Spring   Heart  
    Mary Wollstonecraft (2007). “Letters from Scandinavia”, p.55, Lulu.com
  • Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it.

    Nature   Fall   Autumn

  • …You see, my dear friend, I am made up of contradictions, and I have reached a very mature age without resting upon anything positive, without having calmed my restless spirit either by religion or philosophy. Undoubtedly I should have gone mad but for music. Music is indeed the most beautiful of all Heaven's gifts to humanity wandering in the darkness. Alone it calms, enlightens, and stills our souls. It is not the straw to which the drowning man clings; but a true friend, refuge, and comforter, for whose sake life is worth living
