"My imagination can picture no fairer happiness than to continue living for art." — Clara Josephine Schumann

I live in the world rather as a spectator of mankind than as one of the species

It is better to fall among crows than flatterers; for those devour only the dead - these the living

If you observe, people always live for ever when there is an annuity to be paid them.

There is not a more unhappy being than a superannuated idol

He lives most life whoever breathes most air

While we are postponing, life speeds by
