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

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

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