In art as in love, instinct is enough.

The best advice I ever got when I was starting out: Never give up. And I never did.

There’s nothing so kingly as kindness, and nothing so royal as truth.

There is no deeper desire than the desire of being revealed.

Our prime purpose in this life is to help others.

A hunch is creativity trying to tell you something.

We make out of the quarrel with others, rhetoric, but of the quarrel with ourselves, poetry.

The present is the only time in which any duty can be done or any grace received.

The first time you do something only happens once.

Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live.

We are all afraid to say too much, to feel too deeply, to let people know what they mean to us.

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