Nature did all things well
Do not fret, for God did not create us to abandon us.
If in my youth I had realized that the sustaining splendour of beauty of with which I was in love would one day flood back into my heart, there to ignite a flame that would torture me without end, how gladly would I have put out the light in my eyes.
Faith in oneself is the best and safest course.
If people knew how hard I worked at my art, they would not consider me a genius.
Perfection is no small thing, but it is made up of small things.
