I've continued to recognize the power individuals have to change virtually anything and everything in their lives in an instant. I've learned that the resources we need to turn our dreams into reality are within us, merely waiting for the day  when we decide to wake up and claim our birthright.

Logan Pearsall Smith

Logan Pearsall Smith

Logan Pearsall Smith (October 18, 1865 - March 2, 1946) was an American essayist and critic.

Smith was born in Millville, New Jersey and settled in London. He was known for his aphorisms and epigrams, but is now probably most remembered for his autobiography Unforgotten Years (1938).

The son of the prominent Quakers Robert Pearsall Smith and Hannah Whitall Smith, Logan attended Haverford College and Balliol College, Oxford. His sister Alys was the first wife of Bertrand Russell, and his sister Mary married Bernard Berenson.

Smith was much influenced by Walter Pater. His followers included Robert Gathorne-Hardy, Desmond MacCarthy, John Russell, R. C. Trevelyan, and Hugh Trevor-Roper. He was, in part, the basis for the character of Nick Greene / Sir Nicholas Greene in Virginia Woolf's Orlando.
