“One should embrace the artist's profession only after recognising in oneself an intense passion for Nature and the disposition to pursue it with a perseverance that nothing can shatter - thirst for neither approval nor financial profit. Do not be discouraged by the censure that might fall upon one's works - one must be armoured with a strong conviction which makes one go straight ahead fearing no obstacle. An unremitting task […] an unassailable conscience. (From a sketchbook of 1847).”
Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot

Kelsang Gyatso
“If we want to be truly happy and free from suffering, we must learn how to control our mind.”
Kelsang Gyatso, Modern Buddhism: The Path of Compassion and Wisdom, Volume 1: Sutra

H.V. Morton
“Advertisements at 1 a.m. are nauseating.”
H.V. Morton, In Search of London

Eugène Delacroix
“When all is said and done scholars can do no more than find in nature what is already there.”
Eugène Delacroix, The Journal of Eugene Delacroix

Robert Ardrey
“There is a virtue, I must presume, in shamelessness, since by placing on parade the things one does not know, one discovers that no one else knows either.”
Robert Ardrey, The Territorial Imperative: A Personal Inquiry Into the Animal Origins of Property and Nations
