We awaken in others the same attitude of mind we hold toward them.

Sometimes you simply needed someone kind to sit with you while you dealt with things.

Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when life seems most challenging.

There is no charm equal to tenderness of heart.

I have been bent and broken, but — I hope — into a better shape.

Your passions should fit you exactly but your purpose in life should exceed you.

Live, and be happy, and make others so.

Art hurts. Art urges voyages — and it is easier to stay at home.

There are opportunities even in the most difficult moments.

Seek first the virtues of the mind; and other things either will come, or will not be wanted.

Art is the one place we all turn to for solace.

You can’t laugh and be afraid at the same time — of anything.
