    We should take root here where we sit, or sit
    State-statues only.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “He is no mystic, either, more than Newton or Arkwright or Davy, and tolerates none. Not one obscure line, or half line, did he ever write. His meaning lies plain as the daylight.... It has the distinctness of picture to his mind, and he tells us only what he sees printed in largest English type upon the face of things.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The studio has become the crucible where human genius at the apogee of its development brings back to question not only that which is, but creates anew a fantastic and conventional nature which our weak minds, impotent to harmonize it with existing things, adopt by preference, because the miserable work is our own.”
    —Eugène Delacroix (1798–1863)
