In art it's not the thinking that does the job, but making.

Difficulties increase the nearer we get to the goal.

By nature we have no defect that could not become a strength, no strength that could not become a defect.

Distrust those in whom the desire to punish is strong.

Art is in itself noble; that is why the artist has no fear of what is common. This, indeed, is already ennobled when he takes it up.

I wait for the morning of my tears

We all of us live upon the past, and through the past we are destroyed.
