Art is contemplation. It is the pleasure of the mind which searches into nature and which there divines the spirit of which nature herself is animated.

The main thing is to be moved, to love, to hope, to tremble, to live. Be a man before being an artist!

Nothing is a waste of time if you use the experience wisely.

The artist must create a spark before he can make a fire and before art is born, the artist must be ready to be consumed by the fire of his own creation.

The more simple we are, the more complete we become.

Patience is also a form of action.

Love your calling with passion, it is the meaning of your life.

The human body is first and foremost a mirror to the soul and its greatest beauty comes from that.

Art is the pleasure of a spirit that enters nature and discovers that it too has a soul.

The artist enriches the soul of humanity. The artist delights people with a thousand different shades of feeling.

The most obvious drawback of social media is that they are aggressive distractions.

The things we respond to at twenty are not necessarily the same things we will respond to at forty and vice versa. This is true in books and also in life

Ceaseless work, analysis, reflection, writing much, endless self-correction, that is my secret.

Make acting seem real and as if it werent acting. Just make it real.

When you find nothing... it means you're eliminating what surrounds the something.

It makes no difference whether you worship God, Jehovah, Allah, Mohammed, Buddha, Christ or Krishna- it is still and always one and the same God.

We've all been should upon enough.

Now the whole worlds calling me a killer all I ever did was try to reach the kids with the realer.
