“The old brown hen and the old blue sky,
Between the two we live and die
The broken cartwheel on the hill.”

“For a painter, the Mecca of the world, for study, for inspiration and for living is here on this star called Paris. Just look at it, no wonder so many artists have come here and called it home. Brother, if you can’t paint in Paris, you’d better give up and marry the boss’s daughter.”
