People think that they see, but they don't.
The soul cannot thrive in the absence of art.
To know one thing, you must know the opposite.
Art is the expression of imagination, not the reproduction of reality.
The creative habit is like a drug. The particular obsession changes, but the excitement, the thrill of your creation lasts.
Between beauty of expression and power of expression there is a difference of function. The first aims at pleasing the senses, the second has a spiritual vitality which for me is more moving and goes deeper than the senses.
