Sight is the noblest sense of man.
Love and delight are better teachers than compulsion.
As I grew older, I realized that it was much better to insist on the genuine forms of nature, for simplicity is the greatest adornment of art.
No single man can be taken as a model for a perfect figure, for no man lives on earth who is endowed with the whole of beauty.
What beauty is, I know not, though it adheres to many things.
If a man devotes himself to art, much evil is avoided that happens otherwise if one is idle.
