One Must Learn To Be Grateful For

The Source Of Genius Is Imagination Alone.

Cold Exactitude Is Not Art; Ingenious Artifice, When It Pleases Or When It Expresses, Is Art Itself.

There Is No Merit In Being Truthful When One Is Truthful By Nature, Or Rather When One Can Be Nothing Else; It Is A Gift, Like Poetry Or Music. But It Needs Courage To Be Truthful After Carefully Considering The Matter, Unless A Kind Of Pride Is Involved; For Example, The Man Who Says To Himself, "i Am Ugly," And Then Says, "i Am Ugly" To His Friends, Lest They Should Think Themselves The First To Make The Discovery.

Painters Who Are Not Colorists Produce Illumination, Not Painting.

A Picture Is Nothing But A Bridge Between The Soul Of The Artist And That Of The Spectator.
