"It is absurd to think that anything in us could have the least influence upon our election. Some say that God did foresee that such persons would believe, and therefore did choose them; so they would make the business of salvation to depend upon something in us.

We are elected to boldness, not for it."

"What a hell of an economic system! Some are replete with everything while others, whose stomachs are no less demanding, whose hunger is just as recurrent, have nothing to bite on. The worst of it is the constrained posture need puts you in. The needy man does not walk like the rest; he skips, slithers, twists, crawls."
"Does it ever stop? The wanting you?" "Even when I've just left ye. I want you so much my chest feels tight and my fingers ache with wanting to touch ye again."
"How one can live without being able to judge oneself, criticize what one has accomplished, and still enjoy what one does, is unimaginable to me."
"I do not paint a portrait to look like the subject, rather does the person grow to look like his portrait."
"Love does not die, when someone gets old, people get old, because they can not love anymore."
"Blaming things on the past does not make them better."
