The world may be cruel, but it is also beautiful.

美德只能在平等中繁荣。

In the depth of solitude, I found the presence of all.

我创作得越多，知道的就越少。

I'm not interested in competing with anyone. I hope we all make it.

I'm not a saint, I'm a sinner.

The chief beauty about time is that you cannot waste it in advance. The next year, the next day, the next hour are lying ready for you, as perfect, as unspoiled, as if you had never wasted or misapplied a single moment in all your life. You can turn over a new leaf every hour if you choose.

And, after all, what is a fashion? From the artistic point of view, it is usually a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.Literary and Other Notes I, Woman’s World （November 1887）
