What Beauty Is, I Know Not, Though

Why Has God Given Me Such Magnificent Talent? It Is A Curse As Well As A Great Blessing.

I Hold That The Perfection Of Form And Beauty Is Contained In The Sum Of All Men.

No Single Man Can Be Taken As A Model For A Perfect Figure, For No Man Lives On Earth Who Is Endowed With The Whole Of Beauty.

But I Shall Let The Little I Have Learnt Go Forth Into The Day In Order That Someone Better Than I May Guess The Truth, And In His Work May Prove And Rebuke My Error. At This I Shall Rejoice That I Was Yet A Means Whereby This Truth Has Come To Light.

Art Is Embedded In Nature And They Who Can Extract It, Have It.
