Trifles make perfection but perfection is not a trifle
The marble not yet carved can hold the form of every thought the greatest artist has.
If it be true that any beautiful thing raises the pure and just desire of man from earth to God, the eternal fount of all, such I believe my love.
The hand that follows intellect can achieve.
If people knew how hard I worked to get my mastery, it wouldn't seem so wonderful at all.
No great work of art is ever finished.
