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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.
