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

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

Beauty is an intangible thing; can not be fixed on the surface, and the wear and tear of old age on the body cannot defeat it. Nor will a "pretty" face make it, for "pretty" faces are often dull and empty, and beauty is never dull and it fills all spaces.

In great art there is no beginning and end in point of time. All time is comprehended.

In every human being there is the artist, and whatever his activity, he has an equal chance with any to express the result of his growth and his contact with life. I don't believe any real artist cares whether what he does is 'art' or not. Who, after all, knows what art is?

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

Lines are results, do not draw them for themselves.
