"It is a tragedy that we live in a world where physical courage is so common, and moral courage is so rare."

"The more I live, the more I regret how little I know."

"I'm having a very hard time with my work. I'm completely discouraged."

"I'm absolutely desperate. I'm going to throw in the towel."

"It's a trade I learned as a youth… when I was unhappy… Perhaps flowers are the reason why I am an artist."
