Mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself; but talent instantly recognizes genius.

It is the image in the mind that links us to our lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image$$$ gathers the flowers$$$ weaves the garland.

And life is thorny; and youth is vain.

The cutting of the gem has to be finished before you can see whether it shines.

Games are nature's most beautiful creation.

I will not be held like a drunkard under the cold tap of facts.

Ordinary eternal machinery$$$ like the grinding of the stars.

Friend$$$ when you speak this carefully$$$ I know it is because you don't know what to say.

Thank you for the tragedy. I need it for my art.

Too many women in too many countries speak the same language$$$ of silence.
