I just came across this and wanted to share it with you:
Art in Theory 1815-1900, edited by Harrison, Wood and Graiger, P535: The text of this passage is taken from Moreau-Nelaton p. 172, and has been translated for this volume by Peter Collier.
“Let your feelings be your only guide. Yet, since we are mere mortals, we do make mistakes; so listen to advice; but follow only that which you can understand and which complements your own feeling. – Be strong but flexible. – Follow your convictions. Better to be nothing at all than to be overshadowed by the paintings of the past. As the wise man says, he who follows is always one step behind.”
It is so true - be yourself!
