Selected excerpts:

Where any view of Money exists, Art cannot be carried out, but War only.

Without Unceasing Practice nothing can be done. Practice is Art. If you leave off you are Lost.

The whole Business of Man Is The Arts & All Things Common.

You must leave Fathers & Mothers & Houses & Lands if they stand in the way of Art.

For every Pleasure Money Is Useless.

Christianity is Art & not Money. Money is its Curse.

All that we See is Vision from Generated Organs gone as soon as come Permanent in the Imagination; Consider’d as Nothing by the Natural Man.
