Even in the mud and scum of things, something always, always... - Ralph Waldo Emerson

"The invariable mark of wisdom is to see the miraculous in the common."

"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment."

"Love of beauty is taste. The creation of beauty is art."

"If the stars should appear but one night every thousand years how man would marvel and adore."

"People do not deserve good writing, they are so pleased with bad."
