“The deeper the feeling, the greater the pain.”

He who loves practice without theory is like the sailor who boards ship without a rudder and compass and never knows where he may cast.

I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do.

The smallest feline is a masterpiece.

He who wishes to be rich in a day will be hanged in a year.

My body will not be a tomb for other creatures.

Where there is shouting, there is no true knowledge.

When taking a selfie, remember the most natural pose is still best.

Fear arises sooner than anything else.

The painter has the Universe in his mind and hands.

There are three classes of people: those who see. Those who see when they are shown. Those who do not see.

The greater the man’s soul, the deeper he loves.

The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions.

You’ll know you’ve healed when you find gratitude in the pain that once broke you.

You were drunk in love by the time I was already sober.

Breaking things as a child seemed so easy, than fixing broken things as a adult.

Never expect the wrong person to love you the right way.
