“If you want to be loved, be lovable ”

“True art is characterized by an irresistible urge in the creative artist.”

“Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.”

“Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be”

“Every man has his follies - and often they are the most interesting thing he has got.”

“If you press me to say why I loved him, I can say no more than because he was he, and I was I. ”
