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

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

Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.

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.

Art is the only way to run away without leaving home.

No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist.

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

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 beginning is the most important part of the work.
