Sorrowful and great is the artist's destiny.

Mournful and yet grand is the destiny of the artist.

I foster a sorrowful conception of affection. Make no sacrifices.

Sorrowful and great is the artist's destiny.

Truth is a great flirt.

Supreme serenity still remains the Ideal of great Art. The shapes and transitory forms of life are but stages toward this Ideal, which Christ's religion illuminates with His divine light.
