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.

Whatever you feel or think your exact state at the exact moment of your brush touching the canvas is in some way registered in that stroke.

There are mighty few people who think what they think they think.

Don't stop to paint the material, but push on to give the spirit.

The object isn't to make art, it's to be in that wonderful state which makes art inevitable.

There are moments in our lives, there are moments in a day, when we seem to see beyond the usual. Such are the moments of our greatest happiness. Such are the moments of our greatest wisdom.

Do whatever you do intensely.
