Art happens-no hovel is safe from it, no prince may depend upon it, the vastest intelligence cannot bring it about.

An artist's career always begins tomorrow

You shouldn't say it is not good. You should say, you do not like it; and then, you know, you're perfectly safe.

I can't tell you if genius is hereditary, because heaven has granted me no offspring.

We look at a painting to know the painter; it's his company we are after, not his skill.

Art is limited to the infinite, and beginning there cannot progress.

Listen! There was never an artistic period. There was never an art-loving nation.
