Heads are so overdressed in their natural state, it is offensive not to wear a hat to cover them up. The policy of removing hats in public buildings is extremely irreverent. We should just have guillotines at the door instead and spare everyone the awkwardness of having to look each other in the brow. ↗

How to get the best of it all? One must conquer, achieve, get to the top; one must know the end to be convinced that one can win the end - to know there's no dream that mustn't be dared. . . Is this the summit, crowning the day? How cool and quiet! We're not exultant; but delighted, joyful; soberly astonished. . . Have we vanquished an enemy? None but ourselves. Have we gained success? That word means nothing here. Have we won a kingdom? No. . . and yes. We have achieved an ultimate satisfaction. . . fulfilled a destiny. . . To struggle and to understand - never this last without the other; such is the law. . . ↗

Reverence is an emotion that we can nurture in our very young children, respect is an attitude that we instill in our children as they become school-agers, and responsibility is an act that we inspire in our children as they grow through the middle years and become adolescents. ↗

I love food and feel that it is something that should be enjoyed. I eat whatever I want. I just don't overeat. ↗

Thought is more important than art. To revere art and have no understanding of the process that forces it into existence, is finally not even to understand what art is. ↗
