"It is error alone which needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself" — Thomas Jefferson

True art is characterized by an irresistible urge in the creative artist.

He is not a lover who does not love forever

The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection

Art is not a study of positive reality, it is the seeking for ideal truth

There is no disguise which can hide love for long where it exists, or simulate it where it does not.

A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes
