I was at the Royal Art School. That was a preparatory school specially for art teachers. You see, it was not so much for the development of artists. But we had there terribly stiff training.

I prefer to see with closed eyes.

Good teaching is more a giving of right questions than a giving of right answers.

Every perception of color is an illusion, we do not see colors as they really are. In our perception they alter one another.

Man is born passionate of body, but with an innate though secret tendency to the love of Good in his main-spring of Mind. But God help us all! It is at present a sad jar of atoms.

Not many composers have ideas. Far more of them know how to use strange instruments which do not require ideas.

Come on, Jellal! You can't let yourself get taken away from you! For Erza's sake! So come here! We'll be with you too! We're on the same team, right?! Jellal!

The glass is always half empty. All good comedians are manic-depressive.

If one discards the Bible as being unreliable, then he must discard almost all literature of antiquity.

We are not slaves of the market. Our human life has a greater meaning than making money, making profit, and working for the market or for multinational corporations.

Bring mine unopened, with a napkin and an opener. (Blaine) What? Afraid I’m going to spit in it, big boy? (Aimee)
