Plain women are always jealous of their husbands. Beautiful women never are. They are always so occupied with being jealous of other women's husbands.

To project ones soul into some gracious form, and let it tarry there for a moment; to hear ones own intellectual views echoed back to one with all the added music of passion and youth; to convey one's temperament into anymore as thus it were a subtle fluid or a strange perfume: there was a real joy in that

A temperament capable of receiving, through an imaginative medium, and under imaginative conditions, new and beautiful impressions, is the only temperament that can appreciate a work of art.

An artist should create beautiful things, but should put nothing of his own life into them. We live in an age when men treat art as if it were meant to be a form of autobiography. We have lost the abstract sense of beauty.

A subject that is beautiful in itself gives no suggestion to the artist. It lacks imperfection.

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