If you do not breathe through writing, if you do not cry out in writing, or sing in writing, then don't write, because our culture has no use for it.

A work of art is the unique result of a unique temperament.

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

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

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

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

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

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

The beginning is the most important part of the work.

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