I'm not a gourmet. I just like the planet.
The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection.
True art is characterized by an irresistible urge in the creative artist.
Every artist preserves deep within him a single source from which, throughout his lifetime, he draws what he is, and what he says. When the source dries up, the work withers and crumbles.
The artist forges himself to the others, midway between the beauty he cannot do without and the community he cannot tear himself away from. That is why true artists scorn nothing: they are obliged to understand rather than to judge.
The stupid believe that to be truthful is easy; only the artist, the great artist, knows how difficult it is.
Even a true artist does not always produce art.
Artists who seek perfection in everything are those who cannot attain it in anything.
Art is the most beautiful of all lies.
For every artist, experience is never complete until it has been reproduced in creative work.
