Exactitude is not truth.

Seeing is in itself a creative act which requires effort.

It is only after years of preparation that the young artist should touch color - not color used descriptively, that is, but as a means of personal expression.

I never retouch a sketch: I take a canvas the same size, as I may change the composition somewhat. But I always strive to give the same feeling, while carrying it on further.

Instinct must be thwarted just as one prunes the branches of a tree so that it will grow better.

He who loves, flies, runs, and rejoices; he is free and nothing holds him back.

Creative people are curious, flexible, and independent with a tremendous spirit and a love of play.
