― George Eliot

“Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.”
― Anais Nin

“Art is a selective re-creation of reality according to an artists metaphysical value judgments.”
― Ayn Rand, The Fountainhead

“Everyone has talent. What's rare is the courage to follow it to the dark places where it leads.”
