Nourish yourself with grand and austere ideas of beauty that feed the soul Seek solitude.
Eugene DelacroixYou increase your self-respect when you feel you've done everything you ought to have done, and if there is nothing else to enjoy, there remains that chief of pleasures, the feeling of being pleased with oneself. A man gets an immense amount of satisfaction from the knowledge of having done good work and of having made the best use of his day, and when I am in this state I find that I thoroughly enjoy my rest and even the mildest forms of recreation.
Eugene DelacroixGlory to that Homer of painting, to that father of warmth and enthusiasm... he really paints men.
