I am very glad I have travelled. Travel improves the mind wonderfully, and does away with all one's prejudices.

Men marry because they are tired; women, because they are curious; both are disappointed.

Travel ennobles the spirit and does away with our prejudices.

I don't play accurately--any one can play accurately--but I play with wonderful expression. As far as the piano is concerned, sentiment is my forte. I keep science for Life.

But beauty, real beauty, ends where an intellectual expression begins. Intellect is in itself a mode of exaggeration, and destroys the harmony of any face.

Though one can dine in New York, one could not dwell there.

Art is the only serious thing in the world. And the artist is the only person who is never serious.
