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

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

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.

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

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

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

A work of art is the unique result of a unique temperament.

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

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