The marble not yet carved can hold the form of every thought the greatest artist has.
Art lives on constraint and dies of freedom.
The promises of this world are, for the most part, vain phantoms; and to confide in one's self, and become something of worth and value is the best and safest course.
I criticise by creation, not by finding fault.
Do not fret, for God did not create us to abandon us.
