All faults may be forgiven of him who has perfect candor.

A man is a great thing upon the earth and through eternity; but every jot of the greatness of man is unfolded out of woman.

All music is what awakes from you when you are reminded by the instruments. It is not the violins and the cornets-it is not the oboe nor the beating drums, nor the score of the baritone singer singing his sweet romanza-nor that of the women's chorus; it is nearer and farther than they.

The strongest and sweetest songs yet remain to be sung.

I know I am deathless. No doubt I have died myself ten thousand times before. I laugh at what you call dissolution, and I know the amplitude of time.

Seeing, hearing, feeling, are miracles, and each part and tag of me is a miracle.

If you want me again look for me under your boot soles.
