Alexander Pope
“True ease in writing comes from art, not chance,
As those move easiest who have learn'd to dance.”
Alexander Pope, An Essay On Criticism

Claude Debussy
“There is no theory. You have only to listen. Pleasure is the law. I love music passionately. And because l love it, I try to free it from barren traditions that stifle it. It is a free art gushing forth — an open-air art, boundless as the elements, the wind, the sky, the sea. It must never be shut in and become an academic art.”
Claude Debussy

Victor Hugo
“The pupil dilates in darkness and in the end finds light, just as the soul dilates in misfortune and in the end finds God.”
Victor Hugo, Les Misérables
