Art
Nature is a revelation of God; Art a revelation of man.

And the first rude sketch that the world had seen was joy to his mighty heart, till the Devil whispered behind the leaves ''It's pretty, but is it Art?''

The progress of an artist is a continual self-sacrifice, a continual extinction of personality.

Art is the final cunning of the human soul which would rather do anything than face the gods.
