"Thank God men cannot fly, and lay waste the sky as well as the earth."
"It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see."
"Pursue some path, however narrow and crooked, in which you can walk with love and reverence."
"How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live."
