The beginning is the most important part of the work.

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

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

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

A guilty conscience needs to confess. A work of art is a confession.

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

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

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

True art is characterized by an irresistible urge in the creative artist.

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