“All great ideas are dangerous.”

“An idea that is not dangerous is unworthy of being called an idea at all.”

“A little sincerity is a dangerous thing, and a great deal of it is absolutely fatal.”

“Good artists exist simply in what they make, and consequently are perfectly uninteresting in what they are. A great poet, a really great poet, is the most unpoetical of all creatures. But inferior poets are absolutely fascinating.”

“It takes great deal of courage to see the world in all its tainted glory, and still to love it.”

“Ideals are dangerous things. Realities are better. They wound, but they're better.”

“It takes great courage to see the world in all its tainted glory, and still to love it. And even more courage to see it in the one you love”
