A Man Can Do All Things If

Painting Contains A Divine Force Which Not Only Makes Absent Men Present, As Friendship Is Said To Do, But Moreover Makes The Dead Seem Almost Alive.

The Picture Will Have Charm When Each Color Is Very Unlike The One Next To It.

A Person Can Do Anything If They Only Will It Strongly Enough.

I Shall Praise Those Faces Which Seem To Project Out Of The Picture As Though They Were Sculptured, And I Shall Censure Those Faces In Which I See No Art But That Of Outline.

I Certainly Consider A Great Appreciation Of Painting To Be The Best Indication Of A Most Perfect Mind.
