“‎All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on.”

“.. art lies in the fine choice. The artist does not teach us to see facts: he teaches us to feel harmonies.”

“Fine art is that in which the hand, the head, and the heart of man go together.”

“The art of living is the art of knowing how to believe lies. The fearful thing about it is that, not knowing what truth may be, we can still recognize lies.”

“Let go of all that holds you back; the memories, events, people, whatever makes you feel worse, let it float with the wind - let go of whatever is no longer serving you.”

“There is love in holding and there is love in letting go.”

“The greatest fine art of the future will be the making of a comfortable living from a small piece of land.”

“The one thing to say about art and life is that art is art and life is life, that art is not life and life is not art. A 'slice-of-life' art is no better or worse than a 'slice-of-art' life. Fine art is not a 'means of making a living' or a 'way of living a life', and a artist who dedicates his life to his art or his art to his life burdens his art with his life and his life with his art. Art that is a matter of life and death is neither fine nor free.”

“Live and let love.
Love and let go.
Go live.”

“To live in this world you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go.”
