Life etches itself onto our faces as we grow older, showing our violence, excesses or kindnesses.

Try to put well in practice what you already know; and in so doing, you will in good time, discover the hidden things you now inquire about. Practice what you know, and it will help to make clear what now you do not know.

A painting is finished when the artist says it is finished.

I envy the poet. He is encouraged toward drunkenness and wallows with nubile wenches while the painter must endure wretchedness and pain for his art.

Life etches itself onto our faces as we grow older, showing our violence, excesses or kindnesses.

A painting is not made to be sniffed.

A work is finished when an artist realizes his intentions.
