"My age and health will never allow me to realize the dream of art I’ve been pursuing all my life." ― Paul Cezanne Topic(s): Age More From Paul Cezanne "We must not be content to memorize the beautiful formulas of our illustrious predecessors. Let us go out and study beautiful nature." "Genius is the ability to renew one’s emotions in daily experience." "Doubtless there are things in nature which have not yet been seen. If an artist discovers them, he opens the way for his successors." More In Age "It’s not catastrophes, murders, deaths, diseases, that age and kill us; it’s the way people look and laugh, and run up the steps of omnibuses."― Virginia Woolf "Not to expose your true feelings to an adult seems to be instinctive from the age of seven or eight onwards."― George Orwell "Anyone who writes an autobiographical work at the age of 34 is, at best, presumptuous. It occurred to me that it was time to set the record straight."― Jessica Savitch
