There is something sublime about its aloofness from and its indifference to its external environment.

All the riches of the world are not of sufficient value to redeem one perishing soul.

If you go through life, and you don't find the beauty in an unexpected place, then you really have a sad existence.

The sublime moment seems to be only a product of allowing yourself to get through, to get to a lot of stuff in your life, write about a lot of stuff and not edit yourself. That is a great lesson to learn for anybody that writes or creates in anyway, to be able to make something without being good or bad.

Only the artists interest me whose hearts beat in unison with the poignant misery of the world. If you have not felt that, you have not lived. Pity is essential.

Nothing earthly will make me give up my work in despair.

Let us remember that sorrow alone is the creator of great things.

Sorrowful and great is the artist's destiny.

The entire world is a witness to the phenomenon that sorrows keep away from the kindhearted and compassionate.
