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

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

The beginning is the most important part of the work.

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

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

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

The highest art is always the most religious, and the greatest artist is always a devout person.

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

A man paints with his brains and not with his hands.

Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do.
