Funny the way it is$$$ not right or wrong$$$ somebody's heart is broken$$$ and it becomes your favorite song.
The people who were trying to make this world worse are not taking the day off. Why should I?
Let us offer our hearts$$$ wretched and empty as they are$$$ to God$$$ that He may be pleased to fill them with that charity which amends the past$$$ which ensures the future$$$ which fears and trusts$$$ weeps and rejoices in its knowledge; which becomes in every instance the virtue of which we stand in need.
Art is an expression of joy and awe. It is not an attempt to share one's virtues and accomplishments with the audience$$$ but an act of selfless spirit.
One if by land$$$ two if by sea.
You believe I run after the strange because I do not know the beautiful; no$$$ it is because you do not know the beautiful that I seek the strange.
The Future is$$$ of all things$$$ the thing least like eternity. It is the most temporal part of time--for the Past is frozen and no longer flows$$$ and the Present is all lit up with eternal rays.
The pain I feel now is the happiness I had before. That's the deal.
Music in the soul can be heard by the universe.
Be happy$$$ but never satisfied.
