I Couldn't Give You Something Mediocre Even

True Art Is Made Noble And Religious By The Mind Producing It.

So Now, From This Mad Passion Which Made Me Take Art For An Idol And A King I Have Learnt The Burden Of Error That It Bore And What Misfortune Springs From Man's Desire... The World's Frivolities Have Robbed Me Of The Time That I Was Given For Reflecting Upon God.

Poets And Painters Have The Power To Dare, I Mean To Dare To Do Whatever They May Approve Of.

There Is No Greater Harm Than That Of Time Wasted.

One Paints With One's Head, Not One's Hand.
