As art reveals the artist more than the world, so you see yourself and what you are not in the mirror of another culture (The Artist Quotes)
What was the right level of prosperity, the level that banished dire need but did not satiate, the level that did not threaten the artist in the individual? And how did one stop when one arrived at it? (The Artist Quotes)
I’m the artist when I’m doing music that I am when I’m acting. I’m everything (The Artist Quotes)
Of all the creative acts performed by the artist, the most directly legible is drawing... it is the act that is most directly and spontaneously governed by his nervous and muscular system (The Artist Quotes)
The artist alone among men knows what true humility means. His reach forever exceeds his grasp. He can never be satisfied with his work. He knows when he has done well, but he knows he has never attained his dream. He knows he never can (The Artist Quotes)
The artist in all societies has traditionally been a kind of barometer, more sensitive to nuances and changes than others, because he is more deeply immersed in his culture and more interested in its meanings (The Artist Quotes)
Not everybody has a talent for painting, or for the piano, or for dance. But we can write our way into the artist’s head and into his problems and solutions. Or we can go there with another writer (The Artist Quotes)

The artists 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 (The Artist Quotes)
The role of the artist, like that of the scholar, consists of seizing current truths often repeated to him, but which will take on new meaning for him and which he will make his own when he has grasped their deepest significance (The Artist Quotes)
The artist who imagines that he puts his best into a portrait in order to produce something good, which will be a pleasure to the sitter and to himself, will have some bitter experiences (The Artist Quotes)
There are infinite modes of expression in the world of art, and to insist that only by one road can the artist attain his ends is to limit him (The Artist Quotes)
Defeat furnishes good material to the poets and the artists, but none of us care to have the glory of the conquered apply to us (The Artist Quotes)
