There is peace even in the storm

I try more and more to be myself, caring relatively little whether people approve or disapprove.

The fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm terrible, but they have never found these dangers sufficient reason for remaining ashore.

If I am worth anything later, I am worth something now. For wheat is wheat, even if people think it is a grass in the beginning.

You have first to experience what you want to express.

I wanted to make people think of a totally different way of living from that which we, educated people, live. I would absolutely not want anyone to find it beautiful or good without a thought.
