Orange is red brought nearer to humanity by yellow.

The more abstract is form, the more clear and direct its appeal.

A parallel between color and music can only be relative – just as a violin can give warm shades of tone, so yellow has shades, which can be expressed by various instruments.

The eyes are hammers.

The artist must train not only his eye but also his soul.

With cold eyes and indifferent mind the spectators regard the work. Connoissers admire the "skill" (as one admires a tightrope walker), enjoy the "quality of painting" (as one enjoys a pasty). But hungry souls go hungry away. The vulgar herd stroll through the rooms and pronounce the pictures "nice" or "splendid." Those who could speak have said nothing, those who could hear have heard nothing.

The arts are encroaching one upon another, and from a proper use of this encroachment will rise the art that is truly monumental.
