The Custom House ~~ Nathaniel Hawthorne

Human nature will not flourish, any more than a potato, if it be planted

and replanted , for too long a series of generations, in the same worn out

soil. My children have had other birthplaces, and, so far as their

fortunes may be within my control, shall strike their roots into

unaccustomed earth
.

Nathaniel Hawthorne





I needed to write this down, that I never forget it
