Bless you, my darling, and remember you are always in the heart - oh tucked so close there is no chance of escape - of your sister.

How idiotic civilization is! Why be given a body if you have to keep it shut up in a case like a rare, rare fiddle?

To work - to work! It is such infinite delight to know that we still have the best things to do.

The great thing to remember is we can do whatever we wish to do provided our wish is strong enough.

Life never become a habit to me. It's always a marvel.

In the shortest sea voyage there is no sense of time. You have been down in the cabin for hours or days or years. Nobody knows or cares. You know all the people to the point of indifference. You do not believe in dry land any more - you are caught in the pendulum itself, and left there, idly swinging.

Risk! Risk anything! Care no more for the opinions of others, for those voices. Do the hardest thing on earth for you. Act for yourself. Face the truth.
