A mighty flame follows a tiny spark. - Dante Alighieri

"Nature is the art of God."

"Art, as far as it is able, follows nature, as a pupil imitates his master; thus your art must be, as it were, God's grandchild."

"All hope abandon, ye who enter here!"

"My course is set for an uncharted sea."

"The wisest are the most annoyed at the loss of time."
