“At the present time the artists stands alone.... no ideology can be of help to him.”

“.. the present painter is not concerned with the process. Herein lies the difference between them and the Surrealists. At the same time in his desire, in his will to set down the ordered truth.... it can be said that the artist like a true creator is delving into chaos. It is precisely this that makes him an artist for the Creator in creating the world began with the same material, for the artist tries to wrest truth from the void..”

“The preacher's work is to throw sinners down in utter helplessness, that they may be compelled to look up to Him who alone can help them.”

“My advice to you is this. Do not attempt to stand alone…. The most fatal thing a man can do is try to stand alone.”

“Stand firm in the Lord. Stand firm and let Him fight your battle. Do not try to fight alone.”

“You can't help it. An artist's duty, as far as I'm concerned, is to reflect the times.”

“The activity of the artist makes him less socially conditioned and more humans. It is then that he is disposed to revolution. Society stands against anarchy; the artist stands for the human against society; society therefore threats him As an anarchist. Society's logic is faulty, but its intimation of an enemy is not. Still, the social conflict with society is an incidental obstacle in the artist's path.”

“Every single time you help somebody stand up you are helping humanity rise.”

“.. the universal cannot be expressed purely so long as the particular obstructs the path. Only when this is no longer the case can the universal consciousness (intuition, that is) which is at the origin of all art, be rendered directly, giving birth to a purified art expression.
This, however, cannot appear before its proper time. For it is the spirit of the times that determines artistic expression, which, in turn, reflects the spirit of the times. But at the present moment, that form of art alone is truly alive which expresses our present - or future - consciousness.”

“The artist may be well advised to keep his work to himself till it is completed, because no one can readily help him or advise him with it…but the scientist is wiser not to withhold a single finding or a single conjecture from publicity.”
