To say that my grief will be eternal would be ridiculous - nothing is eternal.
Art just consists in making us swallow the commonplaces by charming us eternally.
I long to see everything, to know everything, to learn everything!.
Nothing is ever so good or so bad in reality as it is in the anticipation.
Art ... is as much a source of happiness for the beginner as for the master. One forgets everything in one's work.
Life, that is Paris! Paris, that is life!
