“We spent our whole lives in unconsous excercise of the art of expressing our thoughts with the help of words”
“Our business in living is to become fluent with the life we are living, and art can help this.”
“What is life? Thoughts and feelings arise, with or without our will, and we employ words to express them. We are born, and our birth is unremembered and our infancy remembered but in fragments. We live on, and in living we lose the apprehension of life. How vain is it to think that words can penetrate the mystery of our being. Rightly used they may make evident our ignorance of ourselves, and this is much.”
“Know what we did, Lucy? You and me? We spent our whole lives yearning. Isn't that the God damndest thing?”
“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.”
“We spent our lives making livings.”
