Luxury... corrupts at once rich and poor, the rich by possession and the poor by covetousness.
When I go out into the countryside and see the sun and the green and everything flowering, I say to myself "Yes indeed, all that belongs to me!"
It is often said that my heart is too open for my own good.
Hatred as well as love, renders its votaries credulous.
God created man in his own image. And man, being a gentleman, returned the favor.
Nothing makes me so happy as to observe nature and to paint what I see.
