&quot;I&#039;d rather be a could-be if I cannot be an are; coz a could-be is a maybe who is wishing on a star. I&#039;d rather be a has-been than a might-have-been by far; coz a might-have-been has never been, but a has was once an are.&quot;

&quot;You understand...It is too far. I cannot take this body along with me. It is too heavy. Left behind, it will only be an old cast-off shell. There is nothing sad about an old shell&quot;

To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not, rich; to listen to stars and birds, babes and sages, with open heart; to study hard; to think quietly, act frankly, talk gently, await occasions, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common--this is my symphony.
