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

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

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

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

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

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

A guilty conscience needs to confess. A work of art is a confession.

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

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.
