Self-respect cannot be hunted. It cannot be purchased. It is never for sale. It cannot be fabricated out of public relations. It comes to us when we are alone, in quiet moments, in quiet places, when e suddenly realize that, knowing the good, we have done it; knowing the beautiful, we have served it; knowing the truth we have spoken it.

Whitney Griswold

Tenderness is a virtue.

Oliver Goldsmith

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.
