PIERRE AUGUSTE RENOIR
"I believe that I am nearer to
God by being humble before this splendour (Nature); by accepting the role I have
been given to play in life; by honouring this majesty without self interests,
and, above all, without asking for anything being confident that he who has
created everything has forgotten nothing."
(Weaver, 1962, 218)
"I believe, therefore, without
seeking to understand. I don't wish to give any name to God, to statues or to
paintings. For Him is above everything that is known. Everything that is made
for this purpose, is in my humble opinion, a fraud.”
(Ibid., 218)
