Throw your heart into the picture and then jump in after it.

For ages past the Genius of Literature and the Genius of Art have walked together hand in hand. For the Goddess of letters is blind, and only she of Art can lend her sight.

Throw your heart into the picture and then jump in after it.

What is done is done; and the cracked egg cannot be cured.

He who jumps for the moon and gets it not leaps higher than he who stoops for a penny in the mud.

You who so plod amid serious things that you feel it shame to give yourself up even for a few short moments to mirth and joyousness in the land of Fancy; you who think that life hath not to do with innocent laughter that can harm no one; these pages are not for you.

When the flood cometh it sweepeth away grain as well as chaff.
