It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.

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

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

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

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

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

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

The highest art is always the most religious, and the greatest artist is always a devout person.

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

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