Inspiration is never genuine if it is known as inspiration at the time. True inspiration always steals on a person; its importance not being fully recognised for some time.
Samuel Butler 1835-1902
The good parts are the people who don’t make do. They’re the interesting people. Lear doesn’t make do.
Peter O’Toole 1932-2013
All great literature is one of two stories; a man goes on a journey or a stranger comes to town.
Leo Tolstoy 1828-1910
The Greeks have given us one of the most beautiful words of our language, the word “enthusiasm” — a God within. The grandeur of the acts of men are measured by the inspiration from which they spring. Happy is he who bears a God within.
Louis Pasteur 1822-1895
