Sight is the noblest sense of man.
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.
If a man devotes himself to art, much evil is avoided that happens otherwise if one is idle.
Simplicity is the greatest adornment of art.
Some think that they know everybody, but they really don't know themselves.
The artist is chosen by God to fulfill his commands and must never be overwhelmed by public opinion.
