Samuel Morse - From the Profession category:
I have no wish to be remembered as a painter, for I never was a painter; my idea of that profession was perhaps too exalted; I may say, is too exalted. I leave it to others more worthy to fill the niches of art. (Samuel Morse)
Samuel Morse - From the Rejection category:
Painting has been a smiling mistress to many, but she has been a cruel jilt to me; I did not abandon her, she abandoned me. (Samuel Morse)
Samuel Morse - From the Sadness category:
Alas, the very name of picture produces a sadness of heart I cannot describe. (Samuel Morse)
