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

A work of art is the unique result of a unique temperament.

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

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.

Art is the only way to run away without leaving home.

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 essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude.
