The artist who aims at perfection in everything achieves it in nothing.

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

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

Without tradition, art is a flock of sheep without a shepherd. Without innovation, it is a corpse.

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

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

Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.
