John James Audubon Quotes


On the 17th of May, the Delos put out to sea. I was immediately affected with sea-sickness, which, however, lasted but a short time. I remained on deck constantly, forcing myself to exercise.

One day I caught four Dolphins, how much I have gazed at these beautiful creatures... as they changed their hue in twenty varieties of richest arrangement of tints.

To be a good draftsman was to me a blessing.

To have been torn from the study would have been as death; my time was entirely occupied with art.
