True Artists Are Almost The Only Men

An Artist Worthy Of The Name Should Express All The Truth Of Nature, Not Only The Exterior Truth, But Also, And Above All, The Inner Truth.

The Artist Enriches The Soul Of Humanity. The Artist Delights People With A Thousand Different Shades Of Feeling.

One Must Work, Nothing But Work, And One Must Have Patience.

Art Is Contemplation. It Is The Pleasure Of The Mind Which Searches Into Nature And Which There Divines The Spirit Of Which Nature Herself Is Animated.

The Artist Has Only To Trust His Eyes.
