I Am Always Learning.

Let It Be Enough For You To Have Bread And Live Virtuously And Poorly Like Christ, As I Do Here. I Live Meanly And Don't Bother About Life Or Honor ... And I Live With The Greatest Toil And A Thousand Worries. It Is Now About 15 Years Since I Had A Happy Hour.

Whenever A Great Painter... Does A Work Which Appears To Be False And Lying, That Falsity Is Very True.

There Is An Angel Imprisoned In It And I Must Set It Free.

Art Is A Jealous Thing; It Requires The Whole And Entire Man.

Painters Are Not In Any Way Unsociable Through Pride, But Either Because They Find Few Pursuits Equal To Painting, Or In Order Not To Corrupt Themselves With The Useless Conversation Of Idle People, And Debase The Intellect From The Lofty Imaginations In Which They Are Always Absorbed.
