Irving Stone

Irving Stone

Irving Stone
Image
Savoir souffrir sans se plaindre, ça c'est la seule chose pratique, c'est la grande science, la leçon à apprendre, la solution du problème de la vie.[Knowing how to suffer without complaining is the only practical thing, it's the great science, the lesson to learn, the solution to the problem of life.]
Irving Stone
Image
The real artist while he paints does not think of the sale, only of the need to make a beautiful living thing.
Irving Stone
Image
The brooding is better than the joy because even if the heart fills with happiness, it still mourns.
Irving Stone
Image
The maximum value of art is that it allows the artist to express himself.
