In art, the hand can never execute anything higher than the heart can imagine.

The beginning is the most important part of the work.

An artist is not paid for his labor but for his vision.

Without freedom, no art art lives only on the restraints it imposes on itself, and dies of all others.

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

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

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

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

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

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