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

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

Some painters transform the sun into a yellow spot, others transform a yellow spot into the sun.

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

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

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

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