Artists who seek perfection in everything are those who cannot attain it in anything.

Of all lies, art is the least untrue.

You don’t make art out of good intentions.

The public wants work which flatters its illusions.

You must not think that feeling is everything. . . . Art is nothing without form.

If there is on earth, and among all these things of nothing, a belief worthy of adoration, if there is anything holy, pure and sublime, anything answering that immoderate desire for the infinite and the vague that we call the soul, it is art.
