Before the flowers of friendship faded friendship faded. - Gertrude Stein

"it is nice that nobody writes as they talk and that the printed language is different from the spoken otherwise you could not lose yourself in books and of course you do you completely do."

"A writer should write with his eyes and a painter paint with his ears."

"Everybody gets so much information all day long that they lose their common sense."

"One must dare to be happy."

"We are always the same age inside."
