I see their souls, and I hold them in my hands, and because I love them they weigh nothing.

Sometimes I would almost rather have people take years of my life than take away a moment.

Never, never rest contented with any circle of ideas, but always be certain that a wider one is still possible.

Hungry people cannot be good at learning or producing anything, except perhaps violence.

A crown, if it hurts us, is not worth wearing.

I never really look for anything. What God throws my way comes. I wake up in the morning and whichever way God turns my feet, I go.

The sweetest joy, the wildest woe is love.
