There is no art without contemplation.

In a tree there is a spirit of life, a spirit of growth and a spirit of holding its head up.

Do not worry about your originality. You could not get rid of it even if you wanted to.

All is as beautiful as we think it.

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

I can think of no greater happiness than to be clear-sighted and know the miracle when it happens. And I can think of no more real life than the adventurous one of living and liking and exclaiming the things of one's own time.

In every human being there is the artist, and whatever his activity, he has an equal chance with any to express the result of his growth and his contact with life. I don't believe any real artist cares whether what he does is 'art' or not. Who, after all, knows what art is?
