Man knows that the world is not made on a human scale; and he wishes that it were.

To command is to serve, nothing more and nothing less.

I don't argue with my enemies; I explain to their children.

As for the outside world, the artist is confronted by what he sees; but what he sees is primarily what he looks at.

In a world in which everything is subject to the passing of time, art alone is both subject to time and yet victorious over it.

There's no such thing as a grown up person.

In art, we are the first heirs of all the earth. . . . Accidents impair and Time transforms, but it is we who choose.
