Imagination Comes In After We Have Experience.

Beauty Is That Little Something That Fills The Whole World, And Is Contained Neither In A Single Straight Nose, A Long Eyelash, Nor A Blue Mountain. Some See It In A Leg Of Mutton, Others In A Compound Fracture; And To Expect Others To Accept One's Own Definition Of It Is As Absurd As To Expect All Humanity To Use The Same Toilet-brush.

Believe That Time Is Going To Help You Do What You Want.

How Are Things Visible? Can You See An Egg Against A White Background? Not By Drawing A Line Around It Can You Make It Evident.

You Can't Do A Fine Thing Without Having Seen Fine Examples.

I Tell You It's No Joke To Paint A Portrait. I Wonder That I Am Not More Timid When I Begin. I Feel Almost Certain That I Can Do It. It Seems Very Simple. I Don't Think Of The Time That Is Sure To Come When I Almost Despair, When The Whole Thing Seems Hopeless.
