While I strive for a conscientious imitation, I yet never for an instant lose the emotion that has taken hold of me.

If you have really been touched, you will convey to others the sincerity of your emotion.

Reality is one part of art; feeling completes it.. .Before any site and any object, abandon yourself to your first impression. If you have really been touched, you will convey to others the sincerity of your emotion." in the context of "Quote from Corot's 'Notebooks', ca. 1856, as quoted in Artists on Art – from the 14th – 20th centuries, ed. by Robert Goldwater and Marco Treves; Pantheon Books, 1972, London, p. 241" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
