All is as beautiful as we think it.

I have heard it very often said that an artist does not need intelligence, that his is the province of the soul

Educate yourself. Don't let me educate you

Everything depends on the attitude of the artist toward his subject. It is essential.

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.

When the artist is alive in any person, whatever his kind of work may be, he becomes an inventive, searching, daring, self-expressive creature. He becomes interesting to other people. He disturbs, upsets, enlightens, and opens ways for better understanding. Where those who are not artists are trying to close the book, he opens it and shows there are still more pages possible.
