"'Didn't you find drawing infernally difficult, Blyth, when you first began?'" "'I find it difficult still, Master Zack,' replied Mr Blyth. 'Art wouldn't be the glorious thing it is, if it wasn't all difficulty from beginning to end; if it didn't force out all the fine points in a man's character as soon as he takes to it.'"
--Wilkie Collins, in Hide and Seek (1854)



"And who is so barbarous as not to understand that the foot of a man is nobler than his shoe, and his skin nobler than that of the sheep with which he is clothed, and not to be able to estimate the worth and degree of each thing accordingly?"
--Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564)



"An art work has value as a creation because man is made in the image of God, and therefore man not only can love and think and feel emotion, but also has the capacity to create. Being in the image of the Creator, we are called upon to have creativity. In fact, it is part of the image of God to be creative, or to have creativity."
--F. A. Schaeffer



" '...by George, sir, I'll come every night, and get through acres of chalk and miles of drawing paper!' ...."
--Wilkie Collins, in Hide and Seek (1854)



O woman! lovely woman! Nature made thee
To temper man: we had been brutes without you.
Angels are painted fair, to look like you:
There's in you all that we believe of heaven,--
Amazing brightness, purity, and truth,
Eternal joy, and everlasting love.

--Thomas Otway, Venice Preserved, Act i. Sc. 1.



"Without freedom, no art; art lives only on the restraints it imposes on itself, and dies of all others." --Albert Camus
