Tivadar Kosztka Csontvary famous quotes

You, faulty men! Not only got lost on the way of charlatains, but contravened against the divine nature.

I, Tivadar Kosztka, who gave up his prime of youth for the rebirth of the world, accepting the call of the invisible Spirit, had a regular civil job, comfort, wealth then ... Going to Paris in 1907 I oppositely standed alone in front of millions with only the result of the divine providence, and I beat the vanity of the world hollow, but I haven't killed 10 million people, only sobered them. I haven't made commercials from things, because I didn't care for the pedlar's press; I retired from the world instead, going to the top of the Lebanons, and I painted cedars.

Creating everlasting works is possible only being ducked in Verity; and gaining verity is possible only from the god.

This ability is the substance not only of the human beings, but it can be seen in animals; birds and insects.
