I don't like your miserable lonely single ''front name.'' It is so limited, so meager; it has no versatility; it is weighted down with the sense of responsibility; it is worn threadbare with much use; it is as bad as having only one jacket and one hat; it is like having only one relation, one blood relation, in the world. Never set a child afloat on the flat sea of life with only one sail to catch the wind.

After all, the world is not a stage -- not to me: nor a theatre: nor a show-house of any sort. And art, especially novels, are not little theatres where the reader sits aloft and watches... and sighs, commiserates, condones and smiles. That's what yo

The deadly Hydra now is the hydra of Equality. Liberty, Equality and Fraternity is the three-fanged serpent.

It is all a question of sensitiveness. Brute force and overbearing may make a terrific effect. But in the end, that which lives by delicate sensitiveness. If it were a question of brute force, not a single human baby would survive for a fortnight. It is the grass of the field, most frail of all things, that supports all life all the time.

One's action ought to come out of an achieved stillness: not to be mere rushing on.

I never knew how soothing trees are - many trees and patches of open sunlight, and tree-presences - it is almost like having another being

Sentimentalism is the working off on yourself of feelings you haven't really got.

It is a fine thing to establish one's own religion in one's heart, not to be dependant on tradition adn second-hand ideals. Life will seem to you, later, not a lesser, but a greater thing.

But then peace, peace! I am so mistrustful of it: so much afraid that it means a sort of weakness and giving in.

Never trust the artist. Trust the tale. The proper function of the critic is to save the tale from the artist who created it.

Not I, not I, but the wind that blows through me! / A fine wind is blowing the new direction of Time.

The chief thing about a woman -- who is much of a woman -- is that in the long run she is not to be had... She is not to be caught by any of the catch-words, love, beauty, honor, duty, worth, work, salvation -- none of them -- not in the long run. In
