Study nothing except in the knowledge that you already knew it. Worship nothing except in adoration of your true self. And fear nothing except in the certainty that you are your enemy's begetter and its only hope of healing.

Clive Barker

Natural abilities are like natural plants, that need pruning by study; and studies themselves do give forth directions too much at large, except they be bounded in by experience.

Francis Bacon

A. J. P. Taylor

Every day I studied the nude, and movement in the streets and in the shops [in Berlin]. Out of the naturalistic surface with all its variations I wanted to derive the pictorially determined surface.

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner

There is no other way for securing yourself against flatteries except that men understand that they do not offend you by telling you the truth but when everybody can tell you the truth, you fail to get respect.

Niccolò Machiavelli
