“The awakening an artist must be ruthless, not only with herself but with others.”
“Awakening will be sudden and shocking. You and I must be there for her awakening. We won`t be there for (her?) later on. That`s for other hands to do.”
“The serious artist must be as open as nature. Nature does not give all of herself in a paragraph. She is rugged and not set apart into discreet categories.”
“Every true artist is the salvation of every other. Only artists produce for each other a world that is fit to live in.”
“Inspiration is an awakening, a quickening of all man's faculties, and it is manifested in all high artistic achievements.”
“The artist must train not only his eye but also his soul.”
