A chief event of life is the day in which we have encountered a mind that startled us.

Nature arms each man with some faculty which enables him to do easily some feat impossible to any other.

We love force and we care very little how it is exhibited.

Men's actions are too strong for them. Show me a man who has acted, and who has not been the victim and slave of his action.

A man becomes what he thinks about most of the time

What is originality? It is being one's self, and reporting accurately what we see and are.

Art and power will go on as they have done,--will make day out of night, time out of space, and space out of time.
