"There is no prejudice that the work of art does not finally overcome."

"Do not do what someone else could do as well as you. Do not say, do not write what someone else could say, could write as well as you. Care for nothing in yourself but what you feel exists nowhere else. And, out of yourself create, impatiently or patiently, the most irreplaceable of beings."

"Believe those who are seeking the truth. Doubt those who find it."

"He who wants a rose must respect her thorn."

"Art begins with resistance - at the point where resistance is overcome. No human masterpiece has ever been created without great labor."
