Nothing can be done without solitude. I've created my own solitude which nobody suspects

If everybody is looking for it, then nobody is finding it. If we were cultured, we would not be conscious of lacking culture. We would regard it as something natural and would not make so much fuss about it. And if we knew the real value of this word we would be cultured enough not to give it so much importance.

Bad artists copy. Good artists steal.

The more technique you have, the less you have to worry about it. The more technique there is, the less there is.

Never permit a dichotomy to rule your life, a dichotomy in which you hate what you do so you can have pleasure in your spare time. Look for a situation in which your work will give you as much happiness as your spare time.

The purpose of Art is to create enthusiasm.

Give me a museum and I'll fill it.
