Why does the eye see a thing more clearly in dreams than the imagination when awake?

Black is like a broken vessel, which is deprived of the capacity to contain anything.

Everything proceeds from everything else and everything becomes everything, and everything can be turned into everything else.

We may call painting the grandchild of nature.

For those colours which you wish to be beautiful, always first prepare a pure white ground.

In life beauty perishes, but not in art.

When Fortune comes, seize her in front with a sure hand, because behind she is bald.
