If I Haven't Fought For My Country

When A Thing Bores You, Do Not Do It.

Cold Exactitude Is Not Art; Ingenious Artifice, When It Pleases Or When It Expresses, Is Art Itself.

What I Have Done Cannot Be Taken From Me.

What Is A Black-and-white Drawing But A Convention To Which The Beholder Has Become So Accustomed That With His Mind's Eye He Sees A Complete Equivalent In The Translation From Nature?

Even When We Look At Nature, Our Imagination Constructs The Picture.
