Art, Henry Ward Beecher

Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.

- Henry Ward Beecher (1813-1887)

Arts, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

The true, prescriptive artist strives after artistic truth; the lawless artist, following blind instinct, after an appearance of naturalness. The one leads to the highest peaks of art, the other to its lowest depths.

- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832)
