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

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

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

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

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

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

A guilty conscience needs to confess. A work of art is a confession.

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

It is through art, and through art only, that we can realise our perfection.

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