“Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living, and your belief will help create the fact.”

And

“Deep experience is never peaceful.”

And

“Do not mind anything that anyone tells you about anyone else. Judge everyone and everything for yourself.”

And

“If I were to live my life over again, I would be an American. I would steep myself in America, I would know no other land.”

And

“It is art that makes life, makes interest, makes importance… and I know of no substitute whatever for the force and beauty of its process.”

And

“Live all you can — it’s a mistake not to. It doesn’t so much matter what you do in particular, so long as you have your life. If you haven’t had that, what have you had?… What one loses one loses; make no mistake about that…The right time is any time that one is still so lucky as to have…. Live!”

And

“To criticize is to appreciate, to appropriate, to take intellectual possession, to establish in fine a relation with the criticized thing and to make it one’s own.”

And

“We work n the dark – we do what we can – we give what we have. Our doubt is our passion and our passion is our task. The rest is the madness of art.”

And

“True happiness, we are told, consists in getting out of one’s self; but the point is not only to get out — you must stay out; and to stay out you must have some absorbing errand.”

And

“A tradition is kept alive only by something being added to it.”

And

“To take what there is, and use it, without waiting forever in vain for the preconceived — to dig deep into the actual and get something out of that — this doubtless is the right way to live.”

And

“I think I don’t regret a single ‘excess’ of my responsive youth – I only regret, in my chilled age, certain occasions and possibilities I didn’t embrace.”

And

“The right time is any time that one is still so lucky as to have.”

And

“Ideas are, in truth, force.”

And

“Experience is never limited, and it is never complete; it is an immense sensibility, a kind of huge spider-web of the finest silken threads suspended in the chamber of consciousness, and catching every air-borne particle in its tissue.”

And

“Summer afternoon, summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language”
