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

Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do.

The beginning is the most important part of the work.

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

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

Art is a step from what is obvious and well-known toward what is arcane and concealed.

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

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

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