Without art, the crudeness of reality would make the world unbearable.

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

It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.

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.

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.

An artist is always alone - if he is an artist. No, what the artist needs is loneliness.

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

The artist who aims at perfection in everything achieves it in nothing.

A work of art is the unique result of a unique temperament.
