For you can look at things while talking or with a radio going full blast, but you can see only when the chatter stops.

The meaning of life is to see.

One may have a blazing hearth in one's soul and yet no one ever come to sit by it. Passersby see only a wisp of smoke from the chimney and continue on the way.

Mauve takes offense at my having said, "I am an artist" - which I do not take back, because that word included, of course, the meaning: always seeking without absolutely finding.  As far as I know, that word means: "I am seeking, I am striving, I am in with all my heart."

The time has come to turn your heart into a temple of fire. Your essence is gold hidden in dust. To reveal its splendor you need to burn in the fire of love.

We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face. . . . We must do that which we think we cannot.

Life was meant to be lived, and curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

Kites rise highest against the wind-not with it.

"Remember, you are braver than you believe, you are stronger than you seem, and you are smarter than you think."
