"“Literature - the expression of a nation's mind in writing" — William Ellery Channing

Every artist was first an amateur

In art, the hand can never execute anything higher than the heart can imagine

Life is painting a picture, not doing a sum

The duty of comedy is to correct men by amusing them

The mediator of the inexpressible is the work of art.

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