Nature Is Painting For Us,

Not Without Design Does God Write The Music Of Our Lives.

Painting With All Its Technicalities, Difficulties, And Peculiar Ends, Is Nothing But A Noble And Expressive Language, Invaluable As The Vehicle Of Thought, But By Itself Nothing.

No Human Being, However Great, Or Powerful, Was Ever So Free As A Fish.

Sculpture Is Not The Mere Cutting Of The Form Of Anything In Stone; It Is The Cutting Of The Effect Of It. Very Often The True Form, In The Marble, Would Not Be In The Least Like Itself.

It Is His Restraint That Is Honorable To A Person, Not Their Liberty.
