绘画的行为是一种爱的行为。

我不是那种会让对我尊重的爱减少的人。

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.

The act of writing is an act of optimism. You would not take the trouble to do it if you felt it didn't matter.
