They're beautiful. But sad.' Everything's sad if you make it so, I said.

It's despair at the lack of feeling, of love, of reason in the world. It's despair that anyone can even contemplate the idea of dropping a bomb or ordering that it should be dropped. It's despair that so few of us care. It's despair that there's so much brutality and callousness in the world. It's despair that perfectly normal young men can be made vicious and evil because they've won a lot of money. And then do what you've done to me.

We chase the reward, we get the reward and then we discover that the true reward is always the next reward. Buying pleasure is a false end.

Art is a statement of one in the face of all; not a statement by one for the use of all.

There cannot be any true leisure until all the world possesses it equally.

The practise of an art is essential to the whole man, not because of what art is but because of what art does to the artist.

Duty is but a pot. It holds whatever is put in it, from the greatest evil to the greatest good.
