More quotes by Irving Stone
Everyone has their own personality, its own character, and if he respects that, everything would finally fall over for good only.
Irving Stone
The brooding is better than the joy because even if the heart fills with happiness, it still mourns.
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
Loneliness is a kind of prison. [Vincent Van Gogh]
Irving Stone

Irving Stone
Savoir souffrir sans se plaindre, ça c'est la seule chose pratique, c'est la grande science, la leçon à apprendre, la solution du problème de la vie.[Knowing how to suffer without complaining is the only practical thing, it's the great science, the lesson to learn, the solution to the problem of life.]
Irving Stone
I will be an artist. I am sure I will. [Vincent Van Gogh]
Irving Stone
Story writers say that love is concerned only with young people, and the excitement and glamour of romance end at the altar. How blind they are. The best romance is inside marriage the finest love stories come after the wedding, not before.
