Art is the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known.

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

Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others.

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

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

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

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