41705I ask, to what do they belong in my waking remembrance?
41705I could not find it, it was not on the table-- had it dropped on the ground?
41705I fear I can make nothing out of it; but why do I always hurry away from any interesting thought to do something uninteresting?
41705I never, except as a forced courtesy of conversation, ask in a stage- coach, Whose house is that?
41705I quoted your own exposition, and dare you with these opinions charge others with superstition?

41705Is this a guide, or primary guide, that for ever requires a guide against itself?
41705Is this the metaphysic that bad spirits in hell delight in?
41705Is very life by consciousness unbounded?
41705Is''t then a mystery so great, what God and the man, and the world is?
41705Love as it may subsist between two persons of different senses?
41705May not many common but false conclusions originate in the neglect of this distinction-- in the confounding of objective and subjective logic?
41705May there not be gunpowder as well as corn set before it, and the latter will not thrive, but become cinders?
41705Must she not be, as is thy placid sphere, Serenely brilliant?
41705N.B.--Why?

41705Succession with interspace?
41705That deep intuition of our_ one_ness, is it not at the bottom of many of our faults as well as virtues?

41705The whole of religion seems to me to rest on and in the question: The One and The Good-- are these words or realities?
41705There are, I see, weighty arguments on the other side, but are they not to be got over?
41705These varying and infinite co- present colours, what are they?
41705This, if true, may be a subtlety, but is it necessarily a trifle?
41705This-- and what more than this?
41705Those whispers just as you have fallen asleep-- what are they, and whence?
41705To extinguish the light of love and of conscience, to put out the life of arbitrement, to make myself and others_ worthless, soulless, Godless_?
41705To perplex our clearest notions and living moral instincts?
