For me it's absolutely necessary to start from the very beginning. I can't think of coming and contributing something anywhere along the line other than the very start.
Even the richest soil, if left uncultivated will produce the rankest weeds.
He who never puts his trust in any man will never be deceived.
An artist who lacks the power of self-criticism accomplishes but little. It is good if your work stands higher than your own opinion of it; bad if it is on the same level. But it is a great disaster if your work stands lower than your judgment of it.
It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things.
Every now and then go away, have a little relaxation, for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer.
Tears come from the heart and not from the brain
Life is a near-death experience.
Soap, like people, shouldn't smell like anything.
With the right treatment, love, and care the world is a better place.
Death always waits. The door of the hearse is never closed.
