Work alone will efface the footsteps of work.
Art is limited to the infinite, and beginning there cannot progress.
Listen! There was never an artistic period. There was never an art-loving nation.
The world is divided into two classes - invalids and nurses.
Paint should not be applied thick. It should be like a breath on the surface of a pane of glass.
Industry in art is a necessity - not a virtue - and any evidence of the same, in the production, is a blemish, not a quality; a proof, not of achievement, but of absolutely insufficient work, for work alone will efface the footsteps of work.
