Set me a task in which I can put something of my very self, and it is a task no longer; it is joy; it is art.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The goal of art was the vital expression of self.
I cannot live without art: it excites me, it challenges me, and it leads me to the next thing.
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.
If you have something you do that's unique, you just end up in situations. Your art can take you to places without you working too hard to force something to happen.
I wish to lead a life free from care, and I see that I shall be unhappy if I cannot always work at my art.
Art never harms itself by keeping aloof from the social problems of the day: rather, by so doing, it more completely realises for us that which we desire.
Art is the proper task of life.
I've had to learn and discipline myself that I'm much happier and much less depressed if I give myself a project. It's just that simple.
I, in the end, make art for myself.
Instead of me keeping my art a personal thing, we can use it to save lives, change lives and inspire.
