One Must Not Criticize That Which Is

Art Is A Severe Business; Most Serious When Employed In Grand And Sacred Objects. The Artist Stands Higher Than Art, Higher Than The Object. He Uses Art For His Purposes, And Deals With The Object After His Own Fashion.

One Lives But Once In The World.

The Evil One Has Left, The Evil Ones Remain.

I Do Not Speak Of What I Cannot Praise.

We Are Never Further From What We Wish Than When We Believe That We Have What We Wished For.
