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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The beginning is the most important part of the work.

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

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