Educate yourself. Don't let me educate you

An artist must have imagination. An artist who does not use his imagination is a mechanic.

The work of the art student is no light matter. Few have the courage and stamina to think it through. You have to make up your mind to be alone in many ways. We like sympathy and we like to be in company. It is easier than going it alone. But alone one gets acquainted with himself, grows up and on, not stopping with the crowd. It costs to do this. If you succeed somewhat you may have to pay for it as well as enjoy it all your life.

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

To paint is to know how to put nothing on canvas, and have it look like something when you stand back.

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

The real artist's work is a surprise to himself.
