I am an American – Chicago born.

Love is the most potent cosmetic.

Art -- the fresh feeling, new harmony, the transforming magic which by means of myth brings back the scattered distracted soul from its modern chaos -- art, not politics, is the remedy.

My face too blind, my mind too limited, my instincts too narrow. But this intensity, doesn't it mean anything?

It's goodbye to reality when love sets in.

I am a true adorer of life, and if I can't reach as high as the face of it, I plant my kiss somewhere lower down. Those who understand will require no further explanation.

When the striving ceases, there is life waiting as a gift.
