I Believe That The Sight

Art Is Not A Study Of Positive Reality, It Is The Seeking For Ideal Truth.

As In The Instances Of Alchemy, Astrology, Witchcraft, And Other Such Popular Creeds, Political Economy, Has A Plausible Idea At The Root Of It.

In My House There Is No Attempt Whatever To Secure Harmonies Of Colour, Or Form, Or Furniture.... I Am Entirely Independent For Daily Happiness Upon The Sensual Qualities Of Form Or Colour-when I Want Them I Take Them Either From The Sky Or From The Fields.

Fine Art Is That In Which The Hand, The Head, And The Heart Of Man Go Together.

The Training Which Makes Men Happiest In Themselves ... Also Makes Them Most Serviceable To Others
