"One can be the master of what one does, but never of what one feels."

"The most glorious moments in your life are not the so-called days of success, but rather those days when out of dejection and despair you feel rise in you a challenge to life, and the promise of future accomplishments."

"Of all lies, art is the least untrue."

"Love is a springtime plant that perfumes everything with its hope, even the ruins to which it clings."

"The most glorious moments in your life are not the so-called days of success, but rather those days when out of dejection and despair you feel rise in you a challenge to life, and the promise of future accomplishments."
