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

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.

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

Without tradition, art is a flock of sheep without a shepherd. Without innovation, it is a corpse.

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

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

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.

The beginning is the most important part of the work.

An artist is always alone - if he is an artist. No, what the artist needs is loneliness.
