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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others.
