The beginning is the most important part of the work.

Art is a step from what is obvious and well-known toward what is arcane and concealed.

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

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

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

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