Accept your genius and say what you think.
Talent may frolic and juggle; genius realizes and adds.
Every genuine work of art has as much reason for being as the earth and the sun.
It is better to be a thorn in the side of a friend than an echo.
Cause and effect are two sides of one fact.
I have no expectation that any man will read history aright who thinks that what was done in a remote age, by men whose names have resounded far, has any deeper sense than what he is doing today.
