I have known war as few men now living know it. It's very destructiveness on both friend and foe has rendered it useless as a means of settling international disputes.

No longer shall I paint interiors with men reading and women knitting. I will paint living people who breathe and feel and suffer and love.

All men are liable to error and most men are in many points by passion or interest under temptation to it.

A time will come when a politician who has willfully made war and promoted international dissension will be as sure of the dock and much surer of the noose than a private homicide. It is not reasonable that those who gamble with men's lives should not stake their own.

As far as men go it is not what they are that interests me but what they can become.

Why are women... so much more interesting to men than men are to women?

I know war as few other men now living know it and nothing to me is more revolting. I have long advocated its complete abolition as its very destructiveness on both friend and foe has rendered it useless as a method of settling international disputes.

A woman who is willing to be herself and pursue her own potential runs not so much the risk of loneliness as the challenge of exposure to more interesting men - and people in general.

It is an interesting question how far men would retain their relative rank if they were divested of their clothes.

There is a blessed necessity by which the interest of men is always driving them to the right and again making all crime mean and ugly.
