A book must be the axe for the frozen sea inside us.

I was smart enough to go through any door that opened.

If you follow the natural intentions, you get the most success out of life.

Aim above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something.

Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake.

In quietness the soul expands.

The truth will set you free. But not until it is finished with you.

Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage.

I want to make a New Year’s prayer, not a resolution. I’m praying for courage.

There are things that are not sayable. That's why we have art.

Endure, and keep yourselves for days of happiness.

The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship.
