The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection.
Trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle.
A man paints with his brains and not with his hands.
Beauty is the purgation of superfluities.
I hope that I may always desire more than I can accomplish.
I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.
The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short, but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.
The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection.
