“Perilous to us all are the devices of an art deeper than we possess ourselves.”

“Art gives its vision to beauty not always recognized. And it surrenders freely -- whatever power it possesses to every sincere soul that seeks it. But above all else--it presents us with the gift of ourselves.”

“We will not be dictated to by men with less intelligence, energy, initiative and ambition than we ourselves possess. ”

“We are not our own any more than what we possess is our own. We did not make ourselves, we cannot be supreme over ourselves. We are not our own masters.”

“When we lose ourselves for others we ultimately find ourselves don't we? When we let go of our selfish inclinations, wel live life at a deeper, fuller level than would have ever imagined”

“Our morality system has become a mechanical device for protecting us against ourselves; it is the handiwork of terror.”
