Only those who have the patience to do simple things perfectly will acquire the skill to do difficult things easily.

The history of the world is the world's court of justice.

Weep, for the light is dead.

Death is a mighty mediator. There all the flames of rage are extinguished, hatred is appeased, and angelic pity, like a weeping sister, bends with gentle and close embrace over the funeral urn.

You worthy critics, or whatever you may call yourselves, are ashamed or afraid of the momentary and passing madness which is found in all real creators, the longer or shorter duration of which distinguishes the thinking artist from the dreamer. Hence your complaints of unfruitfulness, for you reject too soon and discriminate too severely.

To live is to dream, and to dream pleasantly is to be wise.

The dream is short, repentance long.
