If I Have Known Much Trouble In

There Is Nothing Greater Than The Joy Of Composing Something Oneself And Then Listening To It.

I Once Believed That I Possessed Creative Talent, But I Have Given Up This Idea; A Woman Must Not Desire To Compose — There Has Never Yet Been One Able To Do It. Should I Expect To Be The One?

If I Have Known Much Trouble In My Youth, I Have Also Known Much Joy.

How Often Have I Actually Discovered In Myself That Enthusiasm Raises The Artist Above Himself, How In An Ordinary Mood One Would Not Have Been Able To Accomplish Many Of The Things For Which Enthusiasm Lends One Everything, Energy, Fire.

My Imagination Can Picture No Fairer Happiness Than To Continue Living For Art.
