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

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

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

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