“Make good art.”

“The world always seems brighter when you've just made something that wasn't there before.”

“Tomorrow may be hell, but today was a good writing day, and on the good writing days nothing else matters.”

“Love in dreams is greedy for immediate action, rapidly performed and in the sight of all.”

“Yet I argue not against Heaven's hand or will, nor bate one jot of heart or hope; but still bear up and steer right onward.”

“Love is the ultimate and the highest goal to which man can aspire.”

“I don't know about hope, but I do know about love.”

“Let the man who does not wish to be idle fall in love!”

“Everyone wishes to be loved, but, in the event, nearly no one can bear it.”
