"As we advance in life it becomes more and more difficult, but in fighting the difficulties the inmost strength of the heart is developed."

"I feel that there is nothing more truly artistic than to love people."

"For me, life may well continue in solitude. I have never perceived those to whom I have been most attached other than as through a glass, darkly."

"And the painter of the future will be a colorist such as has not yet been seen."

"What is done in love is done well."
