Life imitates art far more than art imitates life.<\/p>\n

Illusion is the first of all pleasures.<\/p>\n

It is through art, and through art only, that we can realise our perfection.<\/p>\n

No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist.<\/p>\n

Art is the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known.<\/p>\n

Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.<\/p>\n

If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.<\/p>\n

The world is a stage, but the play is badly cast.<\/p>\n

The critic has to educate the public; the artist has to educate the critic.<\/p>\n
