 A portrait is a painting with something wrong with the mouth.

 Color is an inborn gift, but appreciation of value is merely training of the eye, which everyone ought to be able to acquire.

 Every time I paint a portrait I lose a friend.

 I do not judge, I only chronicle.

 I don't dig beneath the surface for things that don't appear before my own eyes.

 I hate to paint portraits! I hope never to paint another portrait in my life. Portraiture may be all right for a man in his youth, but after forty I believe that manual dexterity deserts one, and, besides, the color-sense is less acute. Youth can better stand the exactions of a personal kind that are inseparable from portraiture. I have had enough of it.

 I have now got a bombproof shelter [the Continent] into which I retire when I sniff the coming portrait or its trajectory.

 Mine is the horny hand of toil.

 To work is to pray.

 You can't do sketches enough. Sketch everything and keep your curiosity fresh.
