"Be clearly aware of the stars and infinity on high. Then life seems almost enchanted after all."

"Though I am often in the depths of misery, there is still calmness, pure harmony and music inside me."

"I am seeking, I am striving, I am in it with all my heart."

"Art is to console those who are broken by life."

"If I am worth anything later, I am worth something now. For wheat is wheat, even if people think it is a grass in the beginning."
