Color is the keyboard, the eyes are the harmonies, the soul is the piano with many strings. The artist is the hand that plays, touching one key or another, to cause vibrations in the soul.

To die is nothing, but to live defeated and without glory is to die every day.

译文：读书人读书，第一要有志向，第二要有见识，第三要有恒心。有了志向就不会甘心处于平庸的地位;有了见识就知道学问是没有尽头的，不敢因为有了一点收获就自我满足;有了恒心就绝对没有办不成的事情。这三种品质缺一不可。

"The truth is rarely pure and never simple."
