Art cannot be separated from life. It is the expression of the greatest need of which life is capable, and we value art not because of the skilled product, but because of its revelation of a life's experience.

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?

Realize that a drawing is not a copy. It is a construction in very different materials. A drawing is an invention.

The man who has honesty, integrity, the love of inquiry, the desire to see beyond, is ready to appreciate good art.

You will never draw the sense of a thing unless you are feeling it at the time you work.

Those who cannot begin do not finish.

There are moments in our lives, there are moments in a day, when we seem to see beyond the usual. Such are the moments of our greatest happiness. Such are the moments of our greatest wisdom.
