The Scarlet Letter
by Nathaniel Hawthorne
Favorite Quotes:
"Ah, but let her cover the mark as she will, the pang of it will be always in her heart." -chapter 2
"It is to the credit of human nature, that... it loves more readily than it hates. Hatred, by a gradual and quiet process, will even be transformed to love, unless the change be impeded by a continually new irritation of the original feeling of hostility." -chapter 13
"The scarlet letter was her passport into regions where other women dared not tread. Shame, Despair, Solitude!"
-chapter 18
"But there is a fatality, a feeling so irresistible and inevitable that it has the force of doom, which almost invariably compels human beings to linger around and haunt, ghostlike, the spot where some great and marked event has given the color to their lifetime." -chapter 5
"When, an uninstructed multitude attempts to see with its eyes, it is exceedingly apt to be deceived. When, however, it forms its judgment... on the intuitions of its great and warm heart, the conclusions attained are often so profound and so unerring, as to possess the character of truths supernaturally revealed." -chapter 9
"Her breast, with its badge of shame, was but the softer pillow for the head of that needed one. She was self-ordained a Sister of Mercy; or, we may rather say, the world's heavy hand had so ordained her, when neither the world nor she looked forward to this result." -chapter 13
