Fresh activity is the only means of overcoming adversity.

Oh how sweet it is to hear one's own convictions from another's lips.

What dazzles, for the moment spends its spirit; Whats genuine, shall posterity inherit.

What reason would grope for in vain, spontaneous impulse ofttimes achieves at a stroke, with light and pleasureful guidance.

A great artist... must be shaken by the naked truths that will not be comforted. This divine discontent, this disequilibrium, this state of inner tension is the source of artistic energy.

Man errs, till he has ceased to strive.

Words are mere sound and smoke, dimming the heavenly light.
