An artist's career always begins tomorrow

Art is limited to the infinite, and beginning there cannot progress.

I am not arguing with you - I am telling you.

You shouldn't say it is not good. You should say, you do not like it; and then, you know, you're perfectly safe.

People will forgive anything but beauty and talent. So I am doubly unpardonable.

It is for the artist... in portrait painting to put on canvas something more than the face the model wears for that one day; to paint the man, in short, as well as his features.
