Why has God given me such magnificent talent? It is a curse as well as a great blessing.
Albrecht DurerNo 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.
Albrecht DurerAn artist of understanding and experience can show more of his great power and art in small things roughly and rudely done, than many another in a great work. A man may often draw something with his pen on a half sheet of paper in one day . . . . and it shall be fuller of art and better than another's great work whereon he hath spent a whole year's careful labor.
