I confess I do not know why, but looking at the stars always... - Vincent Van Gogh

"The fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm terrible, but they have never found these dangers sufficient reason for remaining ashore."

"Love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well."

"Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together."

"...and then, I have nature and art and poetry, and if that is not enough, what is enough?"

"I am always doing what I cannot do yet, in order to learn how to do it."
