I can very well do without God both in my life and in my painting, but I cannot, suffering as I am, do without something which is greater than I am, which is my life, the power to create.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You cannot do anything without God. It's a profound and elemental truth. Not, you cannot do most things without God. You will not be able to do anything that you want, truly, in fulfillment, without God.
Form your life humanly, and you have done enough: but you will never reach the height of art and the depth of science without something divine.
With faith, discipline and selfless devotion to duty, there is nothing worthwhile that you cannot achieve.
You cannot have a creation without a Creator.
I am a poor man and of little worth, who is laboring in that art that God has given me in order to extend my life as long as possible.
There's nothing like suffering to remind us how not in control we actually are, how little power we ultimately have, and how much we ultimately need God.
You cannot be this successful without having God on your side.
An artist needs to live to create, and to live means to suffer.
I think we have a creative impulse where suffering can magnify our work, but so can joy. You can be in love and write the greatest love song ever. Sometimes I think too much suffering makes it difficult to do one's work.
You can suffer for your art, and you can make your own self suffer for your art. You don't need anyone else to do it for you.
