"As fire kindled by fire, so is the poet's mind kindled by contact with a brother poet." — John Keble

Every artist was first an amateur

Artists who seek perfection in everything are those who cannot attain it in anything

The essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude

Art is the proper task of life

Fine art is that in which the hand, the head, and the heart of man go together

Life is painting a picture, not doing a sum
