The true artist regards his work as a means of talking with men [and women], of saying his say to himself and to others. It is not a question of pay.

Fight with yourself when you paint, not with the model. A student is one who struggles with himself for order.

The ignorant are to be found as much among the educated as among the uneducated.

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

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

Count on big lines to express your ideas.

Art after all is but an extension of language to the expression of sensations too subtle for words.
