My idea of man's chief end was to enrich the world with things of beauty, and have a fairly good time myself while doing so.

There is a certain frame of mind to which a cemetery is, if not an antidote, at least an alleviation. If you are in a fit of the blues, go nowhere else.

It is better to be a fool than to be dead. It is better to emit a scream in the shape of a theory than to be entirely insensible to the jars and incongruities of life and take everything as it comes in a forlorn stupidity. Some people swallow the universe like a pill; they travel on through the world, like smiling images pushed from behind. For God's sake give me the young man who has brains enough to make a fool of himself!

Live life to the fullest.

Everyday courage has few witnesses. But yours is no less noble because no drum beats for you and no crowds shout your name.
