Lord, protect me from what I want!

To draw you must close your eyes and sing.

I paint what I think, not what I see.

When I haven't any blue I use red.

A painter paints to unload himself of feelings and visions.

We are all born children, the trick is remaining one.

I don't work from nature, I work like nature.

Don't waste your youth growing up.

When I was a kid I drew like Michelangelo. It took me years to learn to draw like a kid.

Paradise is to love many things with a passion.

Music and art are the guiding lights of the world.

Give me a museum and I'll fill it.

When you're really young, you're young for life.

The purpose of art is to wash the dust of daily life off our souls.

Unless your work gives you trouble, it is no good.

We don't grow older, we grow riper.

Go and do the things you can't. That is how you get to do them.

A plagiarist steals from one person. A true artist steals from everybody.

Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
