"Mille peintres sont morts sans avoir senti la chair ; mille autres mourront sans l'avoir sentie" is a dictum by Denis Diderot, recorded in Essais sur la peinture .
English translation: "Already Diderot, in the essay on painting translated by Goethe, expressed himself as follows on this head: "He who once has truly felt and secured the apparition of flesh colour is far on his way to perfect victory. Thousands of painters have died without such a feeling, and many thousands more will die without doing so." --The Philosophy of Fine Art[1] by Hegel
