The writer's joy is the thought that can become emotion, the emotion that can wholly become a thought.
America is never wholly herself unless she is engaged in high moral principle. We as a people have such a purpose today. It is to make kinder the face of the nation and gentler the face of the world.
The fool’s life is empty of gratitude and full of fears; its course lies wholly toward the future.
Maybe in any art you have to be wholly you in the context of whatever you're doing.
Perhaps it is true that we do not really exist until there is someone there to see us existing, we cannot properly speak until there is someone who can understand what we are saying in essence, we are not wholly alive until we are loved.
