Artists who seek perfection in everything are those who can't attain it in anything.

Eugene Delacroix 111 quotes

Mediocre people have an answe...

Mediocre people have an answer for everything and are astonished at nothing. They always want to have the air of knowing better than you what you are going to tell them; when, in their turn, they begin to speak, they repeat to you with the greatest confidence, as if dealing with their own property, the things that they have heard you say yourself at some other place. A capable and superior look is the natural accompaniment of this type of character.

Every time I await a model, even when I am most pressed to time, I am overjoyed when the time comes and I tremble when I hear the key turn in the door.

If painters left nothing of themselves after their deaths, so that we were obliged to rank them as we do actors according to the judgment of their contemporaries, how different their reputations would be from what posterity has made them!

Experience has two things to teach. The first is that we must correct a great deal and the second, that we must not correct too much.

The true wisdom of the philoso...

The true wisdom of the philosopher ought to insist in enjoying everything. Yet we apply ourselves to dissecting and destroying everything that is good in itself, that has virtue, albeit the virtue there is in mere illusions. Nature gives us this life like a toy to a weak child. We want to see how it all works; we break everything. There remains in our hands, and before our eyes, stupid and opened too late, the sterile wreckage, fragments that will not again make a whole. The good is so simple.

Nature creates unity even in the parts of a whole.

If one considered life as a simple loan, one would perhaps be less exacting. We possess actually nothing; everything goes through us.

Talent does whatever it wants to do. Genius does only what it can.

Do all the work you can; that is the whole philosophy of the good way of life.

Cold exactitude is not art; in...

Cold exactitude is not art; ingenious artifice, when it pleases or when it expresses, is art itself.

The secret of not having worries, for me at least, is to have ideas.

Eugene Delacroix 111 quotes

What is real for me are the illusions I create with my paintings. Everything else is quicksand.

Even when we look at nature, our imagination constructs the picture.

I live in company with a body, a silent companion, exacting and eternal.

[Photography is] in some ways false just because it is so exact.

One always has to spoil a picture a little bit, in order to finish it.

How can this world, which is so beautiful, include so much horror?
