"There is within every human being a deep well of thinking over which a heavy iron lid is kept clamped."
— Sherwood Anderson

"I don’t want to frighten you, but I would like to make you understand the import of what you think of attempting. You must not become a mere peddler of words. The thing to learn is to know what people are thinking about, not what they say."
- Sherwood Anderson

"In the beginning when the world was young there were a great many thoughts but no such thing as truth. Man made the truths himself and each truth was a composite of a great many vague thoughts. All about in the world were truths and they were all beautiful."
- Sherwood Anderson

"If a man doesn't delight in himself and the force in him and feel that he and it are wonders, how is all life to become important to him?"
- Sherwood Anderson

"It may be life is only worthwhile at moments. Perhaps that is all we ought to expect."
- Sherwood Anderson
