The victory one would gain after a whole life of work and effort is better than one that is gained sooner.

To believe in God for me is to feel that there is a God, not a dead one, or a stuffed one, who with irresistible force urges us towards more loving.

Sometimes art seems to be something very sublime, and, as you say, something sacred.

There is but one Paris and however hard living may be here, and if it became worse and harder even—the French air clears up the brain and does good—a world of good.
