A Good Artist Ought Never To Allow

True Art Is Made Noble And Religious By The Mind Producing It.

How Wrong Are Those Simpletons, Of Whom The World Is Full, Who Look More At... Color Than At The Figures Which Show Spirit And Movement.

Sculpture Is Made By Taking Away, While Painting Is Made By Adding.

Art Is A Shadow Of Divine Perfection.

The Mind, The Soul, Becomes Ennobled By The Endeavour To Create Something Perfect, For God Is Perfection, And Whoever Strives After Perfection Is Striving For Something Devine.
