"I am speaking now of the highest duty we owe our friends, the noblest, the most sacred - that of keeping their own no…" — Harriet Beecher-Stowe

If you want to be loved, be lovable

Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.

Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be

True art is characterized by an irresistible urge in the creative artist.

If you press me to say why I loved him, I can say no more than because he was he, and I was I.

Tell me who admires and loves you, and I will tell you who you are.
