Perfection Is No Small Thing, But It

The Science Of Design, Or Of Line-drawing, If You Like To Use This Term, Is The Source And Very Essence Of Painting, Sculpture, Architecture... Sometimes... It Seems To Me That... All The Works Of The Human Brain And Hand Are Either Design Itself Or A Branch Of That Art.

To Know Each Other Is The Best Way To Understand Each Other. To Understand Each Other Is The Only Way To Love Each Other.

I Criticise By Creation, Not By Finding Fault.

Painting And Sculpture, Labour And Good Faith, Have Been My Ruin And I Continually Go From Bad To Worse. Better It Would Have Been For Me If I Had Set Myself To Making Matches In My Youth. I Should Not Be In Such Distress Of Mind.

There Is No Greater Harm Than That Of Time Wasted.
