Dante Alighieri
  • Art, as far as it is able, follows nature, as a pupil imitates his master thus your art must be, as it were, God's grandchild.

  • Nature is the art of God.

  • Beauty awakens the soul to act.

  • Heat cannot be separated from fire, or beauty from The Eternal.

  • The customs and fashions of men change like leaves on the bough, some of which go and others come.
