There are moments in our lives, there are moments in a day, when we seem to see beyond the usual- become clairvoyant. We reach then into reality. Such are the moments of our greatest happiness. Such are the moments of our greatest wisdom. It is in the nature of all people to have these experiences; but in our time and under the conditions of our lives, it is only a rare few who are able to continue in the experience and find expression for it.

Art after all is but an extension of language to the expression of sensations too subtle for words.

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.

There is nothing more entertaining than to have a frank talk with yourself. Few do it-frankly. Educating yourself is getting acquainted with yourself.

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

A weak background is a deadly thing.

Feel the dignity of a child. Do not feel superior to him, for you are not.
