In the end we shall have had enough of cynicism, skepticism and humbug, and we shall want to live more musically.

Purity of soul and impurity of body can go together.

In the fullness of artistic life there is, and remains, and will always come back at times, that homesick longing for the truly ideal life that can never come true.

How rich art is, if one can only remember what one has seen, one is never empty of thoughts or truly lonely, never alone.

Love is something eternal.

Let life be beautiful like summer flowers and death be like autumn leaves. Rabindranath Tagore What a simple thing death is, just as simple as the falling of an autumn leaf.
