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

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

Art is a step from what is obvious and well-known toward what is arcane and concealed.

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

True art is characterized by an irresistible urge in the creative artist.
