It took me years to understand that words are often as important as experience, because words make experience last.

I do not want art for a few any more than education for a few, or freedom for a few.

The past is not dead, it is living in us, and will be alive in the future which we are now helping to make.

The true secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life.

History has remembered the kings and warriors, because they destroyed art has remembered the people, because they created.
