Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake.

The willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life is the source from which self-respect springs.

Do not whine... Do not complain. Work harder. Spend more time alone.

Run to the rescue with love and peace will follow.

It’s the artists who do the dreaming for society.

The quality of your life depends quite a bit on the quality of attention you project out onto the world.

Learning never exhausts the mind.
