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

If you do not breathe through writing, if you do not cry out in writing, or sing in writing, then don't write, because our culture has no use for it.

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

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

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

An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have.

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

Drawing is the honesty of the art. There is no possibility of cheating. It is either good or bad.

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

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