"When you are painting, you must forget everything else, and just think of the picture."
"A large part of the beauty of a picture comes from the relationship the painter has with the things he has before him."
"He who loves, flies, runs, and rejoices; he is free."
"The artist who is not a master of his craft is like a bird without wings."
"The artist must possess a special faculty for vision, not a mere talent for dexterity."
