"Heat cannot be separated from fire, or beauty from The Eternal" — Dante Alighieri

Flattery is like cologne water, to be smelt, not swallowed

Art ought never to be considered except in its relations with its ideal beauty

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

Art consists of limitation. The most beautiful part of every picture is the frame

A healthful hunger for a great idea is the beauty and blessedness of life

There is not so variable a thing in nature as a lady's head-dress
