Hands, do what you’re bid:
Bring the balloon of the mind
That bellies and drags in the wind
Into its narrow shed. |

It was at that age that poetry came in search of me. |

Let us forget with generosity those who cannot love us. |

Love is so short, forgetting is so long. |

If you love what you do and are willing to do what it takes, it's within your reach. And it'll be worth every minute you spend alone at night, thinking and thinking about what it is you want to design or build. It'll be worth it, I promise. |

Go into the Arts. I'm not kidding. The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. |

A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. |

The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes. |

No rain. No rainbow. |

There is no greater burden than great potential. |
