From The Glow Of Enthusiasm I Let

Recommend Virtue To Your Children, That Alone - Not Wealth - Can Give Happiness. It Upholds In Adversity And The Thought Of It And My Art Prevents Me From Putting An End To My Life.

Art Always Demands Of Us Something New.

Of All My Children, This Is The One That Cost Me The Worst Birth-pangs And Brought Me The Most Sorrow; And For That Reason It Is The One Most Dear To Me.

She Was Such A Good Loving Mother, My Best Friend. Oh, Who Was Happier Than I When I Could Still Say The Dear Name "mother," And It Was Heard, And Whom Can I Say It To Now?

The World Is A King, And Like A King, Desires Flattery In Return For Favor; But True Art Is Selfish And Perverse — It Will Not Submit To The Mold Of Flattery.
