Without order there can be no inner satisfaction. Without inner satisfaction there can be no freedom. Without freedom there is no joy.

It is easier to analyze a work in its form, in its evolution, than simply to love it with all the living forces of our heart. It is easier to define its peculiarities and its details than to draw out of it its emotion, its thought.

It is nothing to succeed if one has not taken great trouble, and it is nothing to fail if one has done the best one could.

Without order there can be no inner satisfaction. Without inner satisfaction there can be no freedom. Without freedom there is no joy.

Without a strong cup to carry the emotion, it is only a curiosity. Great art can come to us only in strong cups. Without emotion, there is nothing to carry.

There is nothing boring in life except ourselves.

Do nothing for effect. Do it for truth.
