Patriotism cannot be our final spiritual shelter; my refuge is humanity. I will not buy glass for the price of diamonds, and I will never allow patriotism to triumph over humanity as long as I live.

I believe in a spiritual world - not as anything separate from this world - but as its innermost truth. With the breath we draw we must always feel this truth, that we are living in God.

Life's aspirations come in the guise of children.

Beauty is simply reality seen with the eyes of love

You smiled and talked to me of nothing and I felt that for this I had been waiting long.

Whether joy or sorrow, pain or pleasure; whatsoever may befall thee, accept it serenely with an unvanquished heart.

In Art, man reveals himself and not his objects.
