There is only one reason for art in America, and that is that the people of America learn the means of expressing themselves in their own time, and their own land.

There is weakness in pretending to know more than you know or in stating less than you know.

Be a warhorse for work and enjoy even the struggle against defeat.

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

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.

Get the few main lines and see what lines they call out.

All is as beautiful as we think it.
