1793, Johann Gottlieb Fichte, translated by Maria Chiara Pievatolo, Beweis der Unrechtmäßigkeit des Büchernachdrucks; republished as Prova dell'illegittimità della ristampa dei libri, 2012:Ogni imbrattatele sa certamente applicare colori, luce e ombre, e dipingere un bambino e una giovane donna; ma non si tratta di questo: si tratta della forma dell'esecuzione, che si può sentire ma non descrivere.- Every dauber certainly knows how to apply colors, highlights and shadows, and draw a child and a young woman; but it does not regard this: it regards the form of exclusion, that one can feel but not describe.
1927, Il tesoretto della coltura italiana:Adesso che ogni imbrattatele può mandar suoi quadri al Salon, non si sente parlare d'altro che di genii incompresi.- (please add an English translation of this quotation)
