“Love is always being given where it is not required.”

“What is the good of your stars and trees, your sunrise and the wind, if they do not enter into our daily lives?”

“Charm, in most men and nearly all women, is a decoration.”

“History develops, art stands still.”

“Either life entails courage, or it ceases to be life.”

“Faith, to my mind, is a stiffening process, a sort of mental starch.”
