And the flower that sweetly shows
Nestling lightly in your hair. — Victor Hugo

I said earlier that I do not believe an artist's life throws much light upon his works. I do believe, however, that, more often than most people realize, his works may throw light upon his life. An artist with certain imaginative ideas in his head may then involve himself in relationships which are congenial to them. — W. H. Auden

I think that America is an ideal place for the privileged homeless, who are used to different cultures. It's easiest and most accommodating because it is a country of exiles and immigrants and newcomers. There are no walls, in that sense.

If you are living at a distance in society, this is one of the most congenial societies to live in. — Pico Iyer
I have a bit of a struggle with some aspects of or forms of Buddhism, but Zen I find to be mainly congenial. — Quentin S. Crisp

Wilhelmine Germany was hostile to the expression of same-sex love - and, of course, Mann would have known of the fate of Oscar Wilde.

It's not quite Platonic. — Philip Kitcher
And of course, FDR was very charming. At 6'2", he was tall enough to be her beau, and they made a beautiful couple. And she could encourage him. His mother also encouraged him.

And their romance was a very dear and true and deep romance. — Blanche Wiesen Cook
I guess I've done a lot of different kinds of performing at various times - opera singing, poetry reading, not least high school teaching - and I do enjoy it, at least sometimes.

Certainly I have to be alone to write. — Garth Greenwell
I purchased excellent and beautiful horses, visited all such neighbors as I found in congenial spirits, and was as happy as happy could be. — John James Audubon
