An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have.

The beginning is the most important part of the work.

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

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.

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

Art is the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known.

Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do.

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

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.
