Truth Is The First Of Jewels.

It Is Not Because The Touch Of Genius Has Roused Genius To Production, But Because The Admiration Of Genius Has Made Talent Ambitious, That The Harvest Is Still So Abundant.

I Know Of No Inquiry Which The Impulses Of Man Suggests That Is Forbidden To The Resolution Of Man To Pursue.

What I Mean By The Muse Is That Unimpeded Clearness Of The Intuitive Powers, Which A Perfectly Truthful Adherence To Every Admonition Of The Higher Instincts Would Bring To A Finely Organized Human Being. It May Appear As Prophesy Or As Poesy...should These Faculties Have Free Play, I Believe They Will Open Up New, Deeper And Purer Sources Of Joyous Inspiration Than Have As Yet Refreshed The Earth.

Pain Has No Effect But To Steal Some Of My Time.

While Any One Is Base, None Can Be Entirely Free And Noble.
