There should be no argument in regard to morality in art. There is no morality in nature.

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.

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 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.

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

Today I love myself as I love my god: who could charge me with a sin today? I know only sins against my god but who knows my god?

Being in charge sometimes means making people mad. Some days you have to overrule even the best advice, because you think it is not right.

I’m a martial artist, and I don’t train because I have a fight; I train because it’s my lifestyle, and I’ll train every day if I’m not hurt.

An old Apache storyteller reminds us

I'm totally crazy, I know that.

Real change comes when people are enabled to use their thinking and their energy in a new way, using a different system of thought, different language, and having fresh visions of the future.
