“Memory can make a thing seem to have been much more than it was.”

“Drawing things makes them seem more real and makes me feel more alive. It also makes me pin down and remember things - landscapes, season, weather, occasions, incidents, people - that would otherwise have melted from my memory.”

“The things you spend so much time on--all this work you do--might not seem as important. You might have to make room for some more spiritual things.”

“You have a way of looking at things. You make it seem as though everything's going to be okay. I can't imagine a more dangerous thing to have than hope like yours.”

“Our frustration is greater when we have much and want more than when we have nothing and want some. We are less dissatisfied when we lack many things than when we seem to lack but one thing.”

“Ordinarily men exercise their memory much more than their judgment.”
