  Mark Twain
• The explanation of the propensity of the English people to portrait painting is to be found in their relish for a Fact. Let a man do the grandest things, fight the greatest battles, or be distinguished by the most brilliant personal heroism, yet the English people would prefer his portrait to a painting of the great deed. The likeness they can judge of; his existence is a Fact. But the truth of the picture of his deeds they cannot judge of, for they have no imagination.

  Benjamin Haydon
• I should wish to speak of him with his own incomparable truth, yet I do not know how to give a notion of his influence without the effect of exaggerationTolstoy awakens in his reader the will to be a man; not effectively, not spectacularly, but simply, really.

  Leo Tolstoy
