That is the mission of art - to make us pause and look at a thing a second time.
The note of the perfect personality is not rebellion, but peace.
Some things are more precious because they don't last long.
Murder is always a mistake. One should never do anything that one cannot talk about after dinner.
Nothing makes one so vain as being told that one is a sinner.
Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.
