"The only ones who fly are the one who dare to fly."

“It was pleasant to wake up in Florence, to open the eyes upon a bright bare room, with a floor of red tiles which look clean though they are not; with a painted ceiling whereon pink griffins and blue amorini sport in a forest of yellow violins and bassoons.

“Life goes by rapidly. Don't delay. Don't put it off. Don't wait until you have some spare time. Don't wait until the time's 'right'.”
“I know of no place where the wind can be as icy and the damp so penetrating as in Oxford round about Easter time.”
