I already have a wife who is too much for me.. she is my art, and my works are my children.

I dare affirm that any artist... who has nothing singular, eccentric, or at least reputed to be so, in his person, will never become a superior talent.

Heaven-born, the soul a heavenward course must hold; beyond the world she soars; the wise man, I affirm, can find no rest in that which perishes, nor will he lend his heart to ought that doth time depend

Dear to me is sleep: still more, being made of stone, While pain and guilt still linger here below, Blindness and numbness--these please me alone; Then do not wake me, keep your voices low.

Do not be concerned that you might set a target too high and fail. Be concerned that you will set it too low and succeed.

Critique by creating.

Do you know that women who are chaste remain much fresher than those who are not?
