- "Death’s a debt; his mandamus binds all alike- no bail, no demurrer."
- "To smile at the jest which plants a thorn in another’s breast is to become a principal in the mischief."

- "And, as I have said, it’s made me think twice about the imagination. If the spirits aren’t external, how astonishing the mediums become! Victor Hugo said of his voices that they were like his own mental powers multiplied by five."― James Merrill
