The realities of nature surpass our most ambitious dreams.
What is commonly called ugliness in nature can in art become full of beauty.
There is no need to create. Genius comes only to those who know how to use their eyes and their intelligence.
Patience is also a form of action.
He who is discouraged after a failure is not a real artist.
Where shall we begin? There is no beginning. Start where you arrive. Stop before what entices you. And work! You will enter little by little into the entirety. Method will be born in proportion to your interest.
