An artist never really finishes his work, he merely abandons it.

I don't want to be interesting. I want to be good.

The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection.

Art is not a study of positive reality, it is the seeking for ideal truth.

Even a true artist does not always produce art.

An artist is a dreamer consenting to dream of the actual world.

If we could but paint with the hand what we see with the eye.

Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still.

To say that a work of art is good, but incomprehensible to the majority of men, is the same as saying of some kind of food that it is very good but that most people can't eat it.
