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

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

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

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

Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.

The beginning is the most important part of the work.

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

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

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

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