I want to make beautiful things, even if nobody cares.
I'm massively talented, and very, very beautiful in person; the public don't really realise that.
To be an artist, you have to nurture the things that most people discard.
The heart of silver falls ever into the hands of brass. The sensitive herb is eaten as grass by the swine.
It was the living who ignored the strange and wonderful, because life was too full of the boring and mundane.
Full many a flower is born to blush unseen, And waste its fragrance on the desert air.
Beauty is an outward gift which is seldom despised, except by those to whom it has been refused.
Prudence is a rich, ugly, old maid courted by incapacity.

The glory of the garden lies in more than meets the eye.
The leaf was darkish, and had prickles on it, But in another country, as he said, Bore a bright golden flow'r, but not in this soil; Unknown, and like esteem'd, and the dull swain Treads on it daily with his clouted shoon.

Guys never looked at me. I always had crushes on older seniors who never looked at me. So, when I tell directors that I wanna play that girl who gets rejected, they're like, 'Why?' I tell them it's because I relate to that girl much more than being the girl who makes jaws drop when she walks into a room.
I could not understand how people could not like something as beautiful as the aerodrome. But I had lately become convinced that in general people were pretty boring. They liked to moan for hours on end about how hard it was to make ends meet, about the money they owed, the price of food, and other similar worries, but the minute some more brilliant or attractive subject come up, they were struck deaf.
