"Theory has no place in an artist's basic education. It is the eye and the hand that should be exercised during the impressionable years of youth. It is always possible to later acquire the accessory knowledge involved in the production of a work of art, but never -- and I want to stress that point -- never can the will, perseverance, and tenacity of a mature man make up for insufficient practice. And can there be such anguish compared to that felt by the artist who sees the realization of his dream compromised by weak execution?" — William-Adolphe Bouguereau

"I acknowledge no master in human form." — John Brown

“Entrepreneurship is living a few years of your life like most people won’t, so that you can spend the rest of your life like most people can’t." — Anonymous
