I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands you need to be able to throw something back.

Of life's two chief prizes, beauty and truth, I found the first in a loving heart and the second in a laborer's hand.

You can't stop loving or wanting to love because when its right it's the best thing in the world. When you're in a relationship and its good, even if nothing else in your life is right, you feel like your whole world is complete.

The monotony and solitude of a quiet life stimulates the creative mind.

Without deep reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people.
