James Joyce

I like to think I've got a little bit of both, but must admit intellect seems to go nowhere unless it is backed by emotion.

"Men are governed by lines of intellect - women: by curves of emotion."

-James Joyce

Havelock Ellis

If it's real to you, that's all that matters...

"Dreams are real as long as they last.  Can we say more of life?"

-Havelock Ellis

Bella Lewitsky

"To move freely, you must be deeply rooted."

-Bella Lewitsky

Bill Hemmerling

This bit of wisdom was on a painting I saw in a gallery on my recent New Orleans trip:

"Be encouraged / trouble don't last / wisdom / a diamond was at one time a piece of coal / and a frog was once a tadpole / a river a stream / a star just a beam"

-William Hemmerling, from the painting "Be Encouraged"

Michael Stipe

"Some I'm confused by what I think is really obvious.  But what I think is really obvious obviously isn't obvious..."

-Michael Stipe

Pablo Casals

There is a lot to explore - don't limit yourself.

"The love of one's country is a splendid thing.  But why should love stop at the border?"

-Pablo Casals

Lewis Carroll

I'm still trying to figure out my life, but I need to remember that it just figures itself out:

"If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there."

-Lewis Carroll
