If in my youth I had realized that the sustaining splendour of beauty of with which I was in love would one day flood back into my heart, there to ignite a flame that would torture me without end, how gladly would I have put out the light in my eyes.

He who follows another will never overtake him

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

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

The greatest risk to man is not that he aims to high and misses, but that he aims to low and hits.

Draw, Antonio; draw, Antonio; draw and don’t waste time.

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