The essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude.

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

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

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

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

A guilty conscience needs to confess. A work of art is a confession.

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

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.

Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.
