They will love me for that which destroys me..

The image is an image..

God hides things by putting them near us..

I often look for beauty in form and structure, and for ideas..

Since I went no grasse hath growne on my hele..

All things by immortal power. Near of far, to each other linked are, that thou canst not stir a flower without troubling of a star..

Things [only] exist once they are represented..

You can hold onto anything to make you carry on..

Take what you got and fly with it..

I've never been competitive with anybody but myself..

When you're the ingénue no one is really interested in you for that..

I am not an African. I am an American..

We know that madness belongs to love,--what power to paint a vile object in hues of heaven..

You can do more with a kind word and a gun than with just a kind word..

Politics is a highly tribal business..

No one survives life..

Charge for something and make more than you spend..

If you push too much for somebody that everyone knows is your friend, and that you've worked with before, it can backfire..

Strength is for service, not status.

The man whose authority is recent is always stern..

I don't pull, I just receive..
