If we have not found heaven within, it is a certainty we will not find it without.

For the artist to attach himself to his work, or identify himself with it, is suicidal.

Develop an interest in life as you see it; the people, things, literature, music - the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself.

If there is to be any peace it will come through being, not having.
