What A Mysterious Faculty Is

Everything That Is Beautiful And Noble Is The Product Of Reason And Calculation.

My Concern Today Is With The Painting Of Manners Of The Present. The Past Is Interesting Not Only By Reason Of The Beauty Which Could Be Distilled From It By Those Artists For Whom It Was The Present, But Also Precisely Because It Is The Past, For Its Historical Value. It Is The Same With The Present. The Pleasure Which We Derive From The Representation Of The Present Is Due Not Only To The Beauty With Which It Can Be Invested, But Also To Its Essential Quality Of Being Present

Nothing Can Be Done Except Little By Little.

The World Progresses Only Through Misunderstanding.
