Feathertop Quotes

“My poor, dear, pretty Feathertop! There are thousands upon thousands of coxcombs and charlatans in the world, made up of just such a jumble of wornout, forgotten, and good-for-nothing trash as he was! Yet they live in fair repute, and never see themselves for what they are. And why should my poor puppet be the only one to know himself and perish for it?”
― Nathaniel Hawthorne, Feathertop: A Moralized Legend

“Thou shalt say a thousand things, and saying them a thousand times over, thou shalt still have said nothing!”
― Nathaniel Hawthorne, Feathertop
