“Do not imitate one another's style. If you do, so far as your art is concerned you will be called a grandson, rather than the son of Nature.”
“All art speaks in signs and symbols. No one can explain how it happens that the artist can waken to life in us the existence that he has seen and lives through. No artistic speech is the adequate expression of what it represents; its vital force comes from what is unspoken in it.”
“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory”
