Before he goes into the water, a diver cannot know what he will bring back.

Collage is the noble conquest of the irrational, the coupling of two realities, irreconcilable in appearance, upon a plane which apparently does not suit them.

Creativity is that marvelous capacity to grasp mutually distinct realities and draw a spark from their juxtaposition.

Painting is neither decorative amusement, nor the plastic invention of felt reality; it must be every time: invention, discovery, revelation.

When the artist finds himself he is lost. The fact that he has succeeded in never finding himself is regarded by Max Ernst as his only lasting achievement.

All good ideas arrive by chance.

The artist is a spectator, indifferent or impassioned, at the birth of his work, and observes the phases of its development.

I have never seen a beautiful painting of a beautiful woman. But you can take an ugly woman and make a beautiful painting of her. It is the painting itself that should be beautiful.

The gastliness of nothing. Because I was nobody's sister now.

Faith is the assurance that the best and holiest dream is true after all.

The only crush I have is on Chris Colfer. I’m madly in love with him… I just, like, I doodle in my prop notebooks, ‘I heart Chris Colfer’ over and over and over again.

A wise ruler should rely on what is under his own control, not on what is under the control of others.

I'm just some commoner trying to work in acting.
