"I tell you, hopeless grief is passionless...." - Quote by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

“Don't get me wrong-painting's all right. But now that we have photography, what's the point?”

“He who breathes deepest lives most.”

“Children use the fist until they are of age to use the brain.”

“The people one loves should take all their things with them when they die.”

“Requiescat Tread lightly, she is near Under the snow, Speak gently, she can hear The daisies grow. All her bright golden hair Tarnished with rust, She that was young and fair Fallen to dust. Lily-like, white as snow, She hardly knew She was a woman, so Sweetly she grew. Coffin-board, heavy stone, Lie on her breast, I vex my heart alone She is at rest. Peace, Peace, she cannot hear Lyre or sonnet, All my life’s buried here, Heap earth upon it.”

“For frequent tears have run; The colours from my life.”

“People don't realize what they have when they own a picture by me. Each picture is a phial with my blood. That is what has gone into it.”

“A man makes inferiors his superiors by heat; self control is the rule. Anger is an uncontrollable feeling that betrays what you are when you are not yourself. Anger is that powerful internal force that blows out the light of reason. Know this to be the enemy: it is anger, born of desire.”

“Our envy always outlives the felicity of its object.”
