“Let us dream of evanescence, and linger in the beautiful foolishness of things.”
“The snow crystals . . . come to us not only to reveal the wondrous beauty of the minute in Nature, but to teach us that all earthly beauty is transient and must soon fade way. But though the beauty of the snow is evanescent, like the beauties of the autumn, as of the evening sky, it fades but to come again.”
“The universe alwayshelps us fight for our dreams, no matter how foolish they may be.”
“Your brothers are the foolish ones for not seeing the strength in beautiful things.”
“The armored cars of dreams, contrived to let us do so many a dangerous thing.”
“Of course I need not remind you how fluid a thing thought is with me-- with us all-- and of what an evanescent substance are our emotions made.”
