"The sport of digging the bait is..." - Quote by Henry David Thoreau

“May we so love as never to have occasion to repent of our love!”

“For a companion, I require one who will make an equal demand on me with my own genius. Such a one will always be rightly tolerant.It is suicide, and corrupts good manners, to welcome any less than this. I value and trust those who love and praise my aspiration rather than my performance. If you would not stop to look at me, but look whither I am looking, and farther, then my education could not dispense with your company.”

“Have no mean hours, but be grateful for every hour, and accept what it brings. The reality will make any sincere record respectable.”

“When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something.”

“To know what you're going to draw, you have to begin drawing.”

“I like to let things breathe.”

“Every once in a while, take the scenic route.”

“Champagne is simply one of the elegant extras of life.”

“Sucking the marrow out of life doesn't mean choking on the bone.”
