I awoke, only to see that the rest of the world is still asleep.

Never make heads straight on the shoulders, but turn them aside to the right or to the left, even though they look down, or upward, or straight ahead, because it is necessary for them to look lively and awake and not asleep. And do not depict the front or rear half of the whole person so that too much straightness is displaced, one half above or below the other half; and if you should wish to use stiff figures, do so only in portraying old people.

Not to appreciate life, all of life, is not to deserve it.

A beautiful body perishes, but a work of art dies not.

Motion is created by the destruction of balance.

To speak well of a base man is much the same as speaking ill of a good man.

I have been impressed with the urgency of doing.
