There is no royal road to learning; no short cut to the acquirement of any art.

The arts don't exist in isolation.

I had no interest in high school besides art.

The best of artists has no conception that the marble alone does not contain within itself.

No heirloom of humankind captures the past as do art and language.

I am convinced that no one is fully educated without a full grounding in the arts.

There's no field of music which doesn't have good ideas.

Composers are the only people who can hear good music above bad sounds.
