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

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

The essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude.

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

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

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

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