Pleasure Must Be Found In Study.

All My Compatriots Are Asses Compared To Me.

I Am Progressing Very Slowly, For Nature Reveals Herself To Me In Very Complex Forms; And The Progress Needed Is Incessant.

Painting From Nature Is Not Copying The Object; It Is Realizing One's Sensations.

If I Think, I Am Lost.

Monet Is Only An Eye, But My God, What An Eye!
