The Diseases That We Civilized People Labor

Art Is Jealous, And Demands Our Whole Strength ... .

I Have Played Hell Somewhat With The Truthfulness Of The Colours.

Keep Your Love Of Nature, For That Is The True Way To Understand Art More And More.

I Can't Work Without A Model. I Won't Say I Turn My Back On Nature Ruthlessly In Order To Turn A Study Into A Picture, Arranging The Colors, Enlarging And Simplifying; But In The Matter Of Form I Am Too Afraid Of Departing From The Possible And The True.

That This Awareness Of My Own Fallibility Will Prevent Me From Making Many Mistakes Doesn't Alter The Fact That I'm Bound To Make A Great Many Mistakes Anyway. But If We Fall, We Get Up Again!
