"Every idea must have a visible enfolding...." - Quote by Victor Hugo

“He never went out without a book under his arm, and he often came back with two.”

“It was SHE. Whoever has loved knows all the radiant meaning contained in the three letters of this word ‘she.”

“...mothers are often fondest of the child which has caused them the greatest pain.”

“When I am grown up I shall carry a notebook—a fat book with many pages, methodically lettered. I shall enter my phrases.”

“If NATURE has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea... No one possesses the less, because every other possess the whole of it. He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.”

“Ideas often flash across our minds more complete than we could make them after much labor.”

“That for which we find words is something already dead in our hearts.”

“Art only begins where Imitation ends.”

“I just try to find targets I feel something about and express it my way.”
