A great artist is never poor.

Masters focus on whatever they do best.

All masters want to appear more brilliant than other people.

The painter has the Universe in his mind and hands.

An artist cannot fail; it is a success to be one.

The artist who aims at perfection in everything achieves it in nothing.

The job of the artist is always to deepen the mystery.

This is what it is to love an artist: The moon is always rising above your house. The houses of your neighbors look dull and lacking in moonlight. But he is always going away from you. Inside his head there is always something more beautiful.

The artist must see all things as if he were seeing them for the first time. All his life he must see as he did when he was a child.

En résumé, [à toutes les époque], le meilleur artiste restait encore un artisan, le plus humble des artisans était un artiste.

The artist is always engaged in writing a detailed history of the future because he is the only person aware of the nature of the present.

The great artists are those who impose their personal vision upon humanity.

Achievers always work from a clear sense of priority.

Man always finds the omens he wants.
