Because We Are Saturated With Life, Because

I Am Always Sorry For The Puritan, For He Guided His Life Against Desire And Against Nature. He Found What He Thought Was Comfort, For He Believed The Spirit's Safety Was In Negation, But He Has Never Given The World One Minute's Joy Or Produced One Symbol Of The Beautiful Order Of Nature. He Sought Peace In Bondage And His Spirit Became A Prisoner.

It Seems To Me That Before A Man Tries To Express Anything To The World He Must Recognize In Himself An Individual, A New One, Very Distinct From Others.

It Is Harder To See Than It Is To Express. The Whole Value Of Art Rests In The Artist's Ability To See Well Into What Is Before Him. ... The Model Will Serve Equally For A Rembrandt Drawing Or For Anybody's Magazine Cover. A Genius Is One Who Can See. The Others Can Often 'draw' Remarkably Well. ... Those Who Get Their Technique First, Expecting Sight To Come To Them Later, Get A Technique Of A Very Ready-made Order.

Do Not Let The Fact That Things Are Not Made For You, That Conditions Are Not As They Should Be Stop You. Go On Anyway. Everything Depends On Those Who Go On Anyway.

Art Is, After All, Only A Trace – Like A Footprint Which Shows That One Has Walked Bravely And In Great Happiness.
