Morality, like art, means drawing a line someplace.
“Be warned in time, James, and remain, as I do, incomprehensible: to be great is to be misunderstood.”
“Our ambition should be to rule ourselves, the true kingdom for each one of us; and true progress is to know more, and be more, and to do more.”
“True friends stab you in the front.”
“Always treat people as ends in themselves, never as means to an end.”
“But for that Book, we could not know right from wrong.”
“Don't do anything that goes against your conscience, even if your country says so.”
“The artist is the lover of nature; therefore he is her slave and her master.”
“The orchestra whirls me wider than Uranus flies, It wrenches such ardors from me I did not know I possess'd them”
“Pardon me, my friends, I have ventured to paint my happiness on the wall.”
