Lord free me of myself, so I can please you!

Read the heart and not the letter for the pen cannot draw near the good intent.

Art lives on constraint and dies of freedom.

To know each other is the best way to understand each other. To understand each other is the only way to love each other.

The art of creation lies in the gift of perceiving the particular and generalizing it, thus creating the particular again. It is therefore a powerful transforming force and a generator of creative solutions in relation to a given problem.

So now, from this mad passion Which made me take art for an idol and a king I have learnt the burden of error that it bore And what misfortune springs from man's desire... The world's frivolities have robbed me of the time That I was given for reflecting upon God.

Genius is infinite painstaking.
