A man's work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened.

The most important thing about art is to work. Nothing else matters except sitting down every day and trying.

Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.

The painter has the Universe in his mind and hands.

The writer's curse is that even in solitude, no matter its duration, he never grows lonely or bored.

Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen.

Draw the art you want to see, start the business you want to run, play the music you want to hear, write the books you want to read, build the products you want to use do the work you want to see done.

It is good to love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is well done.

Cinema is the ultimate pervert art. It doesn't give you what you desire - it tells you how to desire.

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.
