Each man must look to himself 

to teach him the meaning of life. 

It is not something discovered: 

it is something moulded.

Contemporary science is based on the philosophy of materialism, 

which claims that all reality is material or physical.

One man's observation is another man's closed book or flight of fancy.

We need to broaden our sympathies, 

both in space and time, 

and perceive ourselves as part of a long heritage, 

and stewards for an immense future.

If you are lonely when you're alone, 

you are in bad company.

Nature is an infinite sphere 

of which the centre is everywhere 

and the circumference nowhere.

My work is a game, 

a very serious game.

a darkness shining in brightness 

which brightness could not comprehend

Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

Painting is but another word for feeling.

There is no truth 

without responsibility 

following in its wake.

There is always a heavy demand for fresh mediocrity. 

In every generation 

the least cultivated taste 

has the largest appetite.

A solitary, 

unused to speaking of what he sees and feels, 

has mental experiences 

which are at once more intense 

and less articulate

 than those of a gregarious man.

The fact to which we have got to cling, 

as to a lifebelt, 

is that it is possible to be a normal decent person 

and yet be fully alive.

Social order 

at the expense of liberty 

is hardly a bargain.
