Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.

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

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

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

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