“Man is simply playing by nature's rules,and art is man's attempt to imitate the beauty of the Creator's hand”

“A woman's beauty should not imitate art.”

“The artist is the creator of beautiful things. To reveal art and conceal the artist is art's aim.”

“beware the average man the average woman beware their love, their love is average seeks average but there is genius in their hatred there is enough genius in their hatred to kill you to kill anybody not wanting solitude not understanding solitude they will attempt to destroy anything that differs from their own not being able to create art they will not understand art they will consider their failure as creators only as a failure of the world”

“Does life imitate art, or does art imitate life? I believe life imitates art the imitates life.”

“Art is not merely an imitation of the reality of nature, but in truth a metaphysical supplement to the reality of nature, placed alongside thereof for its conquest. ”
