I was at the Royal Art School. That was a preparatory school specially for art teachers. You see, it was not so much for the development of artists. But we had there terribly stiff training.

Ah, the creative process is the same secret in science as it is in art. They are all the same absolutely.

Every perception of color is an illusion, we do not see colors as they really are. In our perception they alter one another.

Learn to see and to feel life; that is, cultivate imagination, because there are still marvels in the world, because life is a mystery and always will be. But be aware of it.

In Italy the artist is a god. Now if the artist is a god, the scientist is likewise a god.

Instead of art I have taught philosophy. Though technique for me is a big word, I never have taught how to paint. All my doing was to make people to see.

We never really perceive what color is physically!
