The hours I spend with you 

I look upon as sort of a perfumed garden, 

a dim twilight, 

and a fountain singing to it. 

You and you alone make me feel that I am alive. 

Other men it is said have seen angels, 

but I have seen thee and thou art enough.

It does not matter how badly you paint 

so long as you don't paint badly like other people.

A great artist is always before his time or behind it.

All moral laws are merely statements that certain kinds of actions will have good effects.
