Image
The outcome of my days is always the same an infinite desire for what one never gets a void one cannot fill an utter yearning to produce in all ways, to battle as much as possible against time that drags us along, and the distractions that throw a veil over our soul.

Eugene Delacroix
Image
What moves those of genius, what inspires their work is not new ideas, but their obsession with the idea that what has already been said is still not enough.
Eugene Delacroix
Image
To be understood a writer has to explain almost everything.
Eugene Delacroix
Image
Mythological subjects always new. Modern subjects difficult because of the absence of the nude and the wretchedness of modern costume.
Eugene Delacroix
Image
A wife of your own stature is the greatest of all blessings.
Eugene Delacroix
Image
God is that inner presence which makes us admire the beautiful and consoles us for not sharing the happiness of the wicked.
Eugene Delacroix
Image
If one considered life as a simple loan, one would perhaps be less exacting. We possess actually nothing everything goes through us.
Eugene Delacroix
Image
The source of genius is imagination alone, the refinement of the senses that sees what others do not see, or sees them differently.
Eugene Delacroix
Image
Nature creates unity even in the parts of a whole.
