God had no purpose in creating the world. He was just having fun.

Art always springs from a surplus of life

Art is a luxury, not a necessity. One can be happy and fulfilled without art in one's life just as one can be happy and fulfilled without religion.

Art is a space in which freedom tests its wings.

Happiness is what matters, feeling alive-not art or knowledge or money.

The scientist seeks laws; the historian, causes; the artist, freedom.

Artists, by their free expressions, encourage others to be free. This is the quality that makes works of art enduring.

For the artist, there is no insignificant thing.

It's not worth staying up all night just to paint masterpieces.
