Only solitary men know the full joys of frienship. Others have their family but to a solitary and an exile, his friends are everything.
The stupid believe that to be truthful is easy only the artist, the great artist, knows how difficult it is.
The condition every art requires is, not so much freedom from restriction, as freedom from adulteration and from the intrusion of foreign matter.
Where there is great love, there are always wishes.
It does not matter much whom we live with in this world, but it matters a great deal whom we dream of.
There are some things you learn best in calm, and some in storm.
All the intelligence and talent in the world can't make a singer. The voice is a wild thing. It can't be bred in captivity. It is a sport, like the silver fox. It happens.
That is happiness to be dissolved into something complete and great.
