The sight of stars makes me dream.
Purity of soul and impurity of body can go together.
Painting is a faith, and it imposes the duty to disregard public opinion.
It is the painting that makes me so happy these days.
That I was not suited to commerce or academic study in no way proves that I should also be unfit to be a painter.
Ah! My dear friend painting is to us what the music of Berlioz and Wagner was before us - a consolatory art for sore hearts! And yet there are only a few like you and me who feel it!!!
