Genius is inspired not by new ideas, but by an obsession with the idea that what has already been said is still not enough.

Gray is the enemy of all painting.

Man (human) is a social animal that hates his fellow men.

Nature is a dictionary... one draws words from it.

A Picture is a bridge between the soul of the artist and that of the spectator.

The Poet is only a poet when he is long a poet. To be a poet at twenty is to be twenty; to be a poet at forty is to be a poet.
