A heightened sense of the observation of nature is one of the chief delights that have come to me through trying to paint.
Soul of the age! The applause! delight! The wonder of our stage!
I love films. I love music. I love poetry and stories. All of that I feel... I sort of get very excited and fed by.
Whoever can endure unmixed delight, whoever can tolerate music and painting and poetry all in one, whoever wishes to be rid of thought and to let the busy anvils of the brain be silent for a time, let him read in the "Faery Queen."
I sometimes think there is nothing so delightful as drawing.
Literature and butterflies are the two sweetest passions known to man.
Not enough people enjoy working with color, which delights and inspires me.
To the man who loves art for its own sake, it is frequently in its least important and lowliest manifestations that the keenest pleasure is to be derived.
I'm nothing if not a literary hedonist.
Although we read with our minds, the seat of artistic delight is between the shoulder blades. That little shiver behind is quite certainly the highest form of emotion that humanity has attained when evolving pure art and pure science. Let us worship the spine and its tingle.
Some wise being organized my system, and gave me my capacity, put into my heart and brain something that delights, charms, and fills me with rapture at the sound of sweet music.
