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.

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.

Art is the only way to run away without leaving home.

Drawing is the honesty of the art. There is no possibility of cheating. It is either good or bad.

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

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

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

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

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

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