I hold that the perfection of form and beauty is contained in the sum of all men.
Sight is the noblest sense of man.
Some think that they know everybody, but they really don't know themselves.
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.
If a man devotes himself to art, much evil is avoided that happens otherwise if one is idle.
What beauty is, I know not, though it adheres to many things.
