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
Image
He had been standing still for an artist, one of the more painful forms of death.
Irving Stone
Image
Morality is similar to religion - it is a somniferous drug which blinds people from seeing the squalor of their lives.
Irving Stone
Image
Sometimes men are generous and forgiving, sometimes angry and blind.
