Art need not be intended. It comes inevitably as the tree from the root, the branch from the trunk, the blossom from the twig. None of these forget the present in looking backward or forward. They are occupied wholly with the fulfillment of their own existence.

There is no art without contemplation.

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

Good composition is like a suspension bridge - each line adds strength and takes none away.

All real works of art look as though they were done in joy.

It is the common defect of modern art study. Too many students do not know why they draw.

Art is, after all, only a trace – like a footprint which shows that one has walked bravely and in great happiness.
