...such a colossal scale was it that "it fused facts back and down into the central force of a personal will, from and upon whose volition universes with their contents flowed, not floated, into true cosmical harmony." We learn, further on, that "in vital matters, man and woman are equal. In functional relation to the cosmical order, each is other's superior." This appalling fact should be borne in mind, and we doubt not that our readers will shape their future courses by the light herein afforded. Some of them, however, may be inclined to question the truth...
...Philosopher's Stone, or of the Circular Square; but we do read of "wholesome pie," which falls into the same category.

I did n't buy any more translations. He thought by this means I would lose a certain elegance and fluency of translation. I thought...
...subject would be highly advantageous, - the one easily recognizable, and in fact the ordinary object of moral disquisitions; but I would refer more particularly to the other, namely, to men who sometimes take the highest college honors. Thanks to the system of instruction now practised in the college, a man may pass through his entire course, under the complete dominance of other minds, and while obtaining oftentimes good rank, still never have experienced a sense of personal responsibility or manhood, or had a really sensible thought about his future. Measuring the world by the college standards, they naturally make false...
