Drawing is the honesty of the art. There is no possibility of cheating. It is either good or bad.

If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.

Art is the only way to run away without leaving home.

Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.

If you do not breathe through writing, if you do not cry out in writing, or sing in writing, then don't write, because our culture has no use for it.

It is through art, and through art only, that we can realise our perfection.

The beginning is the most important part of the work.

Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.

Some painters transform the sun into a yellow spot, others transform a yellow spot into the sun.

An artist is not paid for his labor but for his vision.
