Many receive a criticism and think it is fine; think they got their money's worth; think well of the teacher for it, and then go on with their work just the same as before. That is the reason much of the wisdom of Plato is still locked up in the pages of Plato.

Art is, after all, only a trace – like a footprint which shows that one has walked bravely and in great happiness.

After all, the goal is not making art. It is living a life. Those who live their lives will leave the stuff that is really art.

No work of Art is really ever finished. They only stop at good places.

It is harder to see than it is to express. The whole value of art rests in the artist's ability to see well into what is before him.

Personal experimentation is revealing, and once you get into it, immensely engaging.

There is no art without contemplation.
