Art Teaches You The Philosophy Of Life, And If You Can't Learn It From Art, You Can't Learn It At All. It Shows You That There Is No Perfection. There Is Light, And There Is Shadow. Everything Is In Half Tint.

You Can Always Draw As Well As You Know How To. I Flatter Myself That I Feel More Than I Express On Canvas; But I Know That Is Not So.

I Tell You It's No Joke To Paint A Portrait. I Wonder That I Am Not More Timid When I Begin. I Feel Almost Certain That I Can Do It. It Seems Very Simple. I Don't Think Of The Time That Is Sure To Come When I Almost Despair, When The Whole Thing Seems Hopeless.

Most Of Us Live For The Critic, And He Lives On Us. He Doesn't Sacrifice Himself. He Gets So Much A Line For Writing A Criticism. If The Birds Should Read The Newspapers, They Would All Take To Changing Their Notes. The Parrots Would Exchange With The Nightingales, And What A Farce It Would Be!

The Artist Is An Interpreter Of Nature. People Learn To Love Nature Through Pictures. To The Artist, Nothing Is In Vain; Nothing Beneath His Notice. If He Is Great Enough, He Will Exalt Every Subject Which He Treats.
