"Language, after all, is only the use of symbols, and Art also can only affect us through symbols." — George Henry Lewes

Sincerity is not only effective and honourable, it is also much less difficult than is commonly supposed.

Endeavour to be faithful, and if there is any beauty in your thought, your style will be beautiful; if there is any real emotion to express, the expression will be moving.

No man was ever eloquent by trying to be eloquent, but only by being so.

The public can only be really moved by what is genuine.
