Oh how sweet it is to hear one's own convictions from another's lips.
Mere curiosity adds wings to every step.
People will allow their faults to be shown them; they will let themselves be punished for them; they will patiently endure many things because of them; they only become impatient when they have to lay them aside.
God help us -- for art is long, and life so short.
I do not speak of what I cannot praise.
What matters in art is not thinking but making.
