Who said “The purest and most thoughtful minds are those which love color the most.”?

“There is no blue without yellow and without orange.”

“The true color of life is the color of the body, the color of the covered red, the implicit and not explicit red of the living heart and the pulses. It is the modest color of the unpublished blood.”

“Painting is something that takes place among the colors, and one has to leave them alone completely, so that they can settle the matter among themselves. Their intercourse: this is the whole of painting. Whoever meddles, arranges, injects his human deliberation, his wit, his advocacy, his intellectual agility in any way, is already disturbing and clouding their activity.”

“Blueness doth express trueness.”

“Colors are the smiles of nature.”

“There is no wealth but life.”

“When we build, let us think that we build for ever.”

“An unimaginative person can neither be reverent or kind.”

“In general, pride is at the bottom of all great mistakes.”

“Life without industry is guilt, and industry without art is brutality.”

“To make your children capable of honesty is the beginning of education.”
