1 " He worshipped at the temple of her intellect and I believe it was a comfort to him to know that she left our world with it still shining. "
― Matthew Pearl , The Last Bookaneer
2 " She had wandered, without rule or guidance, into a moral wilderness... Her intellect and heart had their home, as it were, in desert places, where she roamed as freely as the wild Indian in his woods... The scarlet letter was her passport into regions where other women dared not tread. Shame, Despair, Solitude! These had been her teachers—stern and wild ones—and they had made her strong, but taught her much amiss. "
― Nathaniel Hawthorne , The Scarlet Letter
