"Art is not the application of a canon of beauty but what the instinct and the brain can conceive beyond any canon. When we love a woman we don't start measuring her limbs."
"There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality."
"The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls."
"Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success."
"Love is the greatest refreshment in life."
"Art is the lie that enables us to realize the truth."
