"What difference does it make to you what someone else becomes, or says, or does? You do not need to answer for others…" — Thomas a Kempis

A mother who is really a mother is never free

There is no disguise which can hide love for long where it exists, or simulate it where it does not.

The love we give away is the only love we keep

Without art, the crudeness of reality would make the world unbearable.

All things are artificial, for nature is the art of God

There are many truths of which the full meaning cannot be realized until personal experience has brought it home
