Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake.

Success is the process itself.

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.

The simple act of paying attention can take you a long way.

Art is about finding creativity in the gutter next to you.

I believe that one defines oneself by reinvention… To be yourself. To cut yourself out of stone.

In art and dream may you proceed with abandon. In life may you proceed with balance and stealth.

Judge each day not by the harvest you reap but by the seeds you plant.

When you enter those places of trust, or power, dream a little before you think.

Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it.

If you look for perfection, you will never be satisfied.

The earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it.
