I am not less poet; I am more conscious of all that I am, am not, and might become.

Talk about it only enough to do it. Dream about it only enough to feel it. Think about it only enough to understand it. Contemplate it only enough to be it.

Men are apt to idolize or fear that which they cannot understand, especially if it be a woman.

Perhaps . . . our lot on the earth is to seek and to search. Now and again we find just enough to enable us to carry on. I now doubt that any of us will completely find and be found in this life.

The only way to seek God is to seek God first. Deny the nayward, affirm the yeaward, be true to those stirrings and motions which He starts in us, refuse priority to all else, and be faithful to the sacred.

No eyes that have seen beauty ever lose their sight.

Fear is a noose that binds until it strangles.
