"The aim of all commentary on art now should be to make works of art - and, by analogy, our own experience - more, rather than less, real to us. The function of criticism should be to show how it is what it is, even that it is what it is, rather than to show what it means."

"Romantic art deals with the exception and with the individual. Good people, belonging as they do to the normal, and so, commonplace type, are artistically uninteresting."

"God screens us evermore from premature ideas."
Faith
"Faith and love are apt to be spasmodic in the best minds. Men live the brink of mysteries and harmonies into which they never enter, and with their hands on the door-latch they die outside."
Faith
"We do not yet possess ourselves, and we know at the same time that we are much more."
Self-Control
"True love transcends the unworthy object, and dwells and broods on the eternal, and when the poor interposed mask crumbles, it is not sad, but feels rid of so much earth, and feels its independency the surer."
Love
"The search after the great men is the dream of youth, and the most serious occupation of manhood."
Life
"We dress our garden, eat our dinners, discuss the household with our wives, and these things make no impression, are forgotten next week; but in the solitude to which every man is always returning, he has a sanity and revelations, which in his passage into new worlds he will carry with him. Never mind the ridicule, never mind the defeat: up again, old heart! - it seems to say, - there is victory yet for all justice; and the true romance which the world exists to realize, will be the transformation of genius into practical power."
Life
"When I first open my eyes upon the morning meadows and look out upon the beautiful world I thank God I am alive."
Gratitude
"You have first an instinct then an opinion then a knowledge as the plant has root bud and fruit. Trust the instinct to the end though you can render no reason."
Trust
"Though I am weak yet God when prayed Cannot withhold his conquering aid."
Faith
"The shoemaker makes a good shoe because he makes nothing else."
