More quotes by Irving Stone
Man's spirit grows hungry for art in the same way his stomach growls for food.

Irving Stone
I do not know a better cure for mental illness than a book.
Irving Stone
Our secret thoughts - do they ever show up? The small flame of our soul can be burning hot, but no one comes to its warmth. Passersby see only a small whiff going through the chimney. Don't we need to take care of that flame, cherish it and patiently wait until someone will come and sit at it, do we?
Irving Stone
