Edgar Allan Poe
Were I called on to define, very briefly, the term Art, I should call it 'the reproduction of what the Senses perceive in Nature through the veil of the soul'. The mere imitation, however accurate, of what is in Nature, entitles no man to the sacred name of 'Artist'.

Wit is well-bred insolence...If four things are followed...Chains do not hold a marriage together...One way to get the most out of life is to look upon it...The love of family and the admiration of friends...The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie...
