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

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

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

A man paints with his brains and not with his hands.

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

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

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

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

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.
