An artist is completely amoral in that he will rob, beg, borrow, or steal from anybody and everybody to get the work done.

So, never be afraid. Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth and compassion, against injustice and lying and greed. If you, not just you in this room tonight, but in all the thousands of other rooms like this one about the world today and tomorrow and next week, will do this, not as a class or classes, but as individuals, men and women, you will change the earth.

You don’t love because: you love despite; not for the virtues, but despite the faults.

Facts and truth really don't have much to do with each other.

I decline to accept the end of man.

I dont hate it he thought, panting in the cold air, the iron New England dark; I dont. I dont! I dont hate it! I dont hate it!

Always dream and shoot higher than you know you can do.
