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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.
