"What sculpture is to a block of marble, education is to the soul" — Joseph Addison

Life imitates art far more than art imitates life

The business of art is to reveal the relation between man and his environment.

The history of art is the history of revivals

Fashion is only the attempt to realize art in living forms and social intercourse

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

My imagination can picture no fairer happiness than to continue living for art.
