By my teaching I hope to inspire you to personal activity and to present your vision.

I am interested in art as a means of living a life; not as a means of making a living.

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

In certain books—some way in the first few paragraphs you know that you have met a brother.

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.

If a certain activity, such as painting, becomes the habitual mode of expression, it may follow that taking up the painting materials and beginning work with them will act suggestively and so presently evoke a flight into the higher state.

Painting should never look as if it were done with difficulty, however difficult it may actually have been.
