• According to how gifted we are, we are all given a large or small key to this treasury of wonders. I have been blessed with a small key to the world of the young. It's a place where good and evil are clearly stamped. It's a place where the better part of human nature triumphs over tragedies, and where innocence rides high. It is a great pleasure to write there, because the young have what the rest of us only envy, and that is a belief in goodness and perpetual hope.

• Art is life seen through man's inner craving for perfection and beauty--
  his escape from the sordid realities of life into a world of his imagining. Art accounts for at least a third of our civilization,
  and it is one of the artist's principal duties to do more than merely record life or nature.
  To the artist is given the privilege of pointing the way and inspiring towards a better life.

Even when you figure you've given up a great deal to get a small amount of something, the pain is only there for a short time. It really goes away. Whatever the quandary, it leaves you.
