time men doctrine
All the doctrines that have flourished in the world about immortality have hardly affected man's natural sentiment in the face of death.

Uselessness is a fatal accusation to bring against any act which is done for its presumed utility, but those which are done for their own sake are their own justification.
dream reflection speech
A dream is always simmering below the conventional surface of speech and reflection.
real imagination fantasy
I have imagination, and nothing that is real is alien to me.
freedom artist interesting
Artists have no less talents than ever, their taste, their vision, their sentiment are often interesting; they are mighty in their independence and feeble only in their works.
happiness joy littles

What more could be needed to suffuse the world with the deepest meaning and beauty?
love beauty wisdom
The lover knows much more about absolute good and universal beauty than any logician or theologian, unless the latter, too, be lovers in disguise.
