Nothing prevents our denying life by suicide. well then, kill yourself, and you won't discuss. If life displeases you, kill yourself! You live, and cannot understand the meaning of life - then finish it, and do not fool about in life, saying and writing that you do not understand it. You have come into good company where people are contented and know what they are doing; if you find it dull and repulsive - go away!

Art is not a pleasure, a solace, or an amusement; art is great matter.

I always loved you, and if one loves anyone, one loves the whole person, just as they are and not as one would like them to be. -Dolly

A man's every action is inevitably conditioned by what surrounds him and by his own body.

The two most powerful warriors are patience and time.

I often think how unfairly life's good fortune is sometimes distributed.

The appreciation of the merits of art (of the emotions it conveys) depends upon an understanding of the meaning of life...
