One Must Work, Nothing But Work, And

I Have Unbounded Admiration For The Nude. I Worship It Like A God.

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 Only Principle In Art Is To Copy What You See. Dealers In Aesthetics To The Contrary, Every Other Method Is Fatal.

The Main Thing Is To Be Moved, To Love, To Hope, To Tremble, To Live. Be A Man Before Being An Artist!

Man Enjoys Living On The Edge Of His Dreams And Neglects The Real Things Of The World Which Are So Beautiful. The Ignorant And Indifferent Destroy Beautiful Things Merely By Looking At The Marble. Things That Remake The Soul Of Him Who Understands Them.
