All art is a confession.

In Paris, I met a young American person who immediately became the primary inspiration which awakened my vision and the leading influence that had directed my forces. Throughout my career as an artist, I refer to this person by the word 'Woman.'

The art of being a good guest is to know when to leave

Art is always and everywhere the secret confession, and at the same time the immortal movement of its time

A guilty conscience needs to confess. A work of art is a confession.

Confess your sins to the Lord and you will be forgiven; confess them to man and you will be laughed at.
