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

"The only way to have a friend is to be one."

"Belief consists in accepting the affirmations of the soul; unbelief, in denying them."

"No law can be sacred to me but that of my nature. Good and bad are but names very readily transferable to that or this; the only right is what is after my constitution; the only wrong is what is against it."

"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."

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