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

If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.

The artist who aims at perfection in everything achieves it in nothing.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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