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.

No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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