Art Must Anchor In Nature,

People Are Not Soured By Misfortune, But By The Reception They Meet With In It.

To Be Happy, We Must Be True To Nature And Carry Our Age Along With Us.

Mankind Are An Incorrigible Race. Give Them But Bugbears And Idols -- It Is All That They Ask; The Distinctions Of Right And Wrong, Of Truth And Falsehood, Of Good And Evil, Are Worse Than Indifferent To Them.

He Who Does Nothing Renders Himself Incapable Of Doing Any Thing; But While We Are Executing Any Work, We Are Preparing And Qualifying Ourselves To Undertake Another.

The Imagination Is Of So Delicate A Texture That Even Words Wound It.
