“Art is a marriage of the conscious and the unconscious.”

“The knack is art.”

“Art is science made clear.”

“Emotion resulting from a work of art is only of value when it is not obtained by sentimental blackmail.”

“Without opium, plans, marriages and journeys appear to me just as foolish as if someone falling out of a window were to hope to make friends with the occupants of the room before which he passes.”

“An artist cannot speak about his art anymore than a plant can discuss horticulture.”

“Art produces ugly things which frequently become more beautiful with time. Fashion, on the other hand, produces beautiful things which always become ugly with time.”
