I feel old when I see mousse in my opponent's hair.
Contempt is the emotion we feel for an opponent whose arguments are too formidable to refute.
But no artist, I now realize, can be satisfied with art alone. There is a natural craving for recognition which cannot be gain-said.
The more I work, the more I see things differently, that is, everything gains in grandeur every day, becomes more and more unknown, more and more beautiful. The closer I come, the grander it is, the more remote it is.

Tis strange the miser should his cares employTo gain those riches he can ne'er enjoy;Is it less strange the prodigal should wasteHis wealth to purchase what he ne'er can taste?
The gain isn't counted to the recluse and inactive that, having nothing to measure themselves by and never being tested by failure, they simmer and soak perpetually in conscious complacency.
I have watched lives change. I have seen women gain confidence.
Our identification with Christ should be that whatever He is we also want to become.
Christ dazzles me and stirs within me such feelings of amazement that I can never get over Him.
