The beginning is the most important part of the work.

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.

Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do.

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

The highest art is always the most religious, and the greatest artist is always a devout person.

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

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

Without art, the crudeness of reality would make the world unbearable.

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

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