Work alone will efface the footsteps of work.

An artist is not paid for his labor but for his vision.

If other people are going to talk, conversation becomes impossible.

It is for the artist... in portrait painting to put on canvas something more than the face the model wears for that one day; to paint the man, in short, as well as his features.

If silicon had been a gas I should have been a major-general.

Paint should not be applied thick. It should be like a breath on the surface of a pane of glass.

For art and joy go together, with bold openness, and high head, and ready hand - fearing naught and dreading no exposure.
