Nothing Right Can Be Accomplished In Art

I Am So Fresh In Soul And Spirit That Life Gushes And Bubbles Around Me In A Thousand Springs.

To Send Light Into The Darkness Of Men's Hearts - Such Is The Duty Of The Artist.

"we Liked It" Or "i Didn't Like It" People Say. As If It Were Nothing Higher Than To Please The People!

Think It A Vile Habit To Alter Works Of Good Composers, To Omit Parts Of Them, Or To Insert New-fashioned Ornaments. This Is The Greatest Insult You Can Offer To Art.

That First Concept Is Alway The Most Naturally And Best. The Mind Errs, The Emotion Never.
