The more one lives alone on the river or in the open country, the clearer it becomes that nothing is more beautiful or great than to perform the ordinary duties of one's daily life simply and naturally.

In Art, man reveals himself and not his objects.

I am willing to serve my country, but my worship I reserve for Right which is far greater than my country. To worship my country as a god is to bring a curse upon it.

Oh, grant me my prayer, that I may never lose the touch of the one in the play of the many.

Love is not a mere impulse, it must contain truth, which is law.

Music is the purest form of art... therefore true poets...seek to express the universe in terms of music. The singer has everything within him. The notes come out from his very life. They are not materials gathered from outside.

The greatest distance in this World is not that between living and death, it is when I am just before you, and you don't know that I Love You.
