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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

An artist is not paid for his labor but for his vision.

Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others.
