Precepts, conventions - above all traditions - have no value in art.

... does it seem to you that it is possible to speak of Art? It would be the same as explaining love!

First one works alone through the mind, then before the public through experience.

If I had my will, I would live in a ship on the sea and never come nearer to humanity than that!

Precepts, conventions - above all traditions - have no value in art.

To help, to continually help and share, that is the sum of all knowledge; that is the meaning of art.

If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you, if the simple things of nature have a message that you understand, rejoice, for your soul is alive.
