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

Life was meant to be lived, and curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.

It is not a daily increase, but a daily decrease. Hack away at the inessentials.

I was smart enough to go through any door that opened.

I never practice, I always play.

Art is a spiritual function of man, which aims at freeing him from life's chaos.

When you come out of the storm you won’t be the same person who walked in.

I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.

I'm doing many different things to prepare for the inevitable failure of one of them.

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

We are all of us obliged... to nurse a few little follies in ourselves.

The truth will set you free. But not until it is finished with you.
