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

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

A guilty conscience needs to confess. A work of art is a confession.

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

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

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

Drawing is the honesty of the art. There is no possibility of cheating. It is either good or bad.

Without freedom, no art art lives only on the restraints it imposes on itself, and dies of all others.

The beginning is the most important part of the work.

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