If you have that unconquerable urge to write, nothing will stop you from writing.

Innate sensuousness rarely has any desire for accuracy, no desire for precise information. It basks in sunshine, bathes in color, dwells in a sense of the impressive and the gorgeous, and rests there. Accuracy is not necessary except in the case of aggressive, acquisitive natures, when it manifests itself in a desire to seize. True controlling sensuousness cannot be manifested in the most active dispositions, nor again in the most accurate.

Remember, love is all a woman has to give, but it is the only thing which God permits us to carry beyond the grave.

A thought will color a world for us.

Art is the stored honey of the human soul, gathered on wings of misery and travail.
