Stubbornness is not firmness.

In the case of a creative mind, it seems to me, the intellect has withdrawn its watchers from the gates, and the ideas rush in pell-mell and only then does it review and inspect the multitudes.

The iron chain and the silken cord are both equally bonds.

I feel an army in my fist.

Virtue is no empty echo.
