All forms of madness, bizarre habits, awkwardness in society, general clumsiness, are justified in the person who creates good art.

Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist.

A blank canvas...has unlimited possibilities.

A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul.

One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and, if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words.

Paradoxically though it may seem, it is none the less true that life imitates art far more than art imitates life.

Color is my daylong obsession, joy, and torment.

The Earth is Art, The Photographer is only a Witness

We have art in order not to die of the truth.

To be an artist means never to avert one's eyes.
