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

I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for.

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

Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.

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

Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do.

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.

Without freedom, no art art lives only on the restraints it imposes on itself, and dies of all others.

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