Art is certainly not a pursuit for anyone who wants to make money.

Your only hope of satisfying others is in satisfying yourself. I speak of a great satisfaction, not a commercial satisfaction.

There are people who buy pictures because they were difficult to do, and are done. Such pictures are often only a record of pain and dull perseverance. Great works of art should look as though they were made in joy. Real joy is a tremendous activity, dull drudgery is nothing to it.

Through art mysterious bonds of understanding and of knowledge are established among men.

You will never draw the sense of a thing unless you are feeling it at the time you work.

Feel the dignity of a child. Do not feel superior to him, for you are not.

All is as beautiful as we think it.
