“The pictures which do not represent an intense interest cannot expect to create an intense interest.”
― Robert Henri, The Art Spirit

“Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal.”
― T.S. Eliot, The Sacred Wood

“But the Church cannot be, in any political sense, either conservative or liberal, or revolutionary. Conservatism is too often conservation of the wrong things: liberalism a relaxation of discipline; revolution a denial of the permanent things.”
― T.S. Eliot, Christianity and Culture: The Idea of a Christian Society and Notes Towards the Definition of Culture

“If I make the lashes dark
And the eyes more bright
And the lips more scarlet,
Or ask if all be right
From mirror after mirror,
No vanity's displayed:
I'm looking for the face I had
Before the world was made.”
― William Butler Yeats
