A painting is complete when it has the shadows of a god.
Choose only one master - Nature.
Practice what you know, and it will help to make clear what now you do not know.
I envy the poet. He is encouraged toward drunkenness and wallows with nubile wenches while the painter must endure wretchedness and pain for his art.
A painting is not made to be sniffed.
I can't paint the way they want me to paint and they know that too.
