Patience Is Also A Form Of Action.

To Any Artist, Worthy Of The Name, All In Nature Is Beautiful, Because His Eyes, Fearlessly Accepting All Exterior Truth, Read There, As In An Open Book, All The Inner Truth.

In Short, Beauty Is Everywhere. It Is Not That She Is Lacking To Our Eye, But Our Eyes Which Fail To Perceive Her. Beauty Is Character And Expression. Well, There Is Nothing In Nature Which Has More Character Than The Human Body. In Its Strength And Its Grace It Evokes The Most Varied Images. One Moment It Resembles A Flower: The Bending Torso Is The Stalk; The Breasts, The Head, And The Splendor Of The Hair Answer To The Blossoming Of The Corolla. The Next Moment It Recalls The Pliant Creeper, Or The Proud And Upright Sapling.

I Believe That Photography Can Create Great Works Of Art, But Hitherto It Has Been Extraordinarily Bourgeois And Babbling. (1908)

Art Is The Pleasure Of A Spirit That Enters Nature And Discovers That It Too Has A Soul.

The Body Always Expresses The Spirit Whose Envelope It Is. And For Him Who Can See, The Nude Offers The Richest Meaning.
