I should like to take the wind and water and sand as a motif and work with them, but it has to be simplified in most cases to colour and force lines, just as music has done with sound.

We cannot express the light in nature because we have not the sun. We can only express the light we have in ourselves.

It is hard for a flat thing to understand a round one.

It is the form the idea takes in the imagination rather than the form as it exists outside.

Real women have children, wise women choose for themselves.

Hope is a lover's staff; walk hence with that And manage it against despairing thoughts.
