You pass people on the street, some are for you, some are not.

The man who has honesty, integrity, the love of inquiry, the desire to see beyond, is ready to appreciate good art.

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.

All the past up to a moment ago is your legacy. You have a right to it.

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

Do whatever you do intensely. The artist is the man who leaves the crowd and goes pioneering. With him there is an idea which is his life.

Genius is not a possession of the limited few, but exists in some degree in everyone. Where there is natural growth, a full and free play of faculties, genius will manifest itself.
