Nobody does good to men with impunity.

True artists are almost the only men who do their work for pleasure.

The artist must create a spark before he can make a fire and before art is born, the artist must be ready to be consumed by the fire of his own creation.

Inside you there's an artist you don't know about. He's not interested in how things look different in moonlight.

Patience is also a form of action.

Man enjoys living on the edge of his dreams and neglects the real things of the world which are so beautiful. The ignorant and indifferent destroy beautiful things merely by looking at the m. (Things that) remake the soul of him who understands them.
