Without freedom, no art art lives only on the restraints it imposes on itself, and dies of all others.

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

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

In art, the hand can never execute anything higher than the heart can imagine.

The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.

The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.

The highest art is always the most religious, and the greatest artist is always a devout person.

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

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

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