The artist belongs to his work, not the work to the artist.

The artist belongs to his work, not the work to the artist.

Summary

This quote suggests that an artist's creation stands separate from themselves; it possesses its own individuality and meaning. It implies that the artwork should not be solely viewed through the lens of the artist's personal life or intentions but rather as a piece that can be interpreted and appreciated independently. It highlights the idea that the artwork has a unique existence and voice, separate from the artist who brought it into being, and should be regarded as such.

Man's characteristic privilege is that the bond he accepts is not physical but moral; that is, social. He is governed not by a material environment brutally imposed on him, but by a conscience superior to his own, the superiority of which he feels. Because the greater, better part of his existence transcends the body, he escapes the body's yoke, but is subject to that of society.

The strong manly ones in life are those who understand the meaning of the word patience. Patience means restraining one's inclinations. There are seven emotions: joy, anger, anxiety, adoration, grief, fear, and hate, and if a man does not give way to these he can be called patient. I am not as strong as I might be, but I have long known and practiced patience. And if my descendants wish to be as I am, they must study patience.
