I am an artist. The track is my canvas, and the car is my brush.

Artists who seek perfection in everything are those who cannot attain it in anything.

The artist must be in his work as God is in creation, invisible and all-powerful; one must sense him everywhere but never see him.

Gustave Flaubert

Nothing can come out of an artist that is not in the man.

H. L. Mencken

Experience is the best teacher of all. And for that, there are no guarantees that one will become an artist. Only the journey matters.

Harry Callahan

The great artist and thinker are the simplifiers.

Henri Frederic Amiel

It is only after years of preparation that the young artist should touch color - not color used descriptively, that is, but as a means of personal expression.

Henri Matisse

An artist must possess Nature. He must identify himself with her rhythm, by efforts that will prepare the mastery which will later enable him to express himself in his own language.

Henri Matisse

The Artist is he who detects and applies the law from observation of the works of Genius, whether of man or Nature. The Artisan is he who merely applies the rules which others have detected.

Henry David Thoreau

Art is only a means to life, to the life more abundant. It is not in itself the life more abundant. It merely points the way, something which is overlooked not only by the public, but very often by the artist himself. In becoming an end it defeats itself.

Henry Miller

The only artists for whom I would make way are - children. For me the paintings of children belong side by side with the works of the masters.

Henry Miller

The worst sin that can be committed against the artist is to take him at his word, to see in his work a fulfillment instead of an horizon.

Henry Miller

Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.

Henry Ward Beecher

When artists create pictures and thinkers search for laws and formulate thoughts, it is in order to salvage something from the great dance of death, to make something that lasts longer than we do.

Hermann Hesse

A grocer is attracted to his business by a magnetic force as great as the repulsion which renders it odious to artists.

Honore de Balzac

The most potent and sacred command which can be laid upon any artist is the command: wait.

Iris Murdoch

Why should I deem myself to be a chisel, when I could be the artist?

J. C. F. von Schiller

One writes out of one thing only – one's own experience. Everything depends on how relentlessly one forces from this experience the last drop, sweet or bitter, it can possibly give. This is the only real concern of the artist, to recreate out of the disorder of life that order which is art.

James A. Baldwin

The artist, like the God of the creation, remains within or behind or beyond or above his handiwork, invisible, refined, out of existence, indifferent, paring his fingernails.

James Joyce

An artist is not paid for his labor but for his vision.

James Whistler

An artist cannot speak about his art any more than a plant can discuss horticulture.

Jean Cocteau

The reward of art is not fame or success but intoxication: that is why so many bad artists are unable to give it up.

Jean Cocteau

The artist alone sees spirits. But after he has told of their appearing to him, everybody sees them.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

At times failure is very necessary for the artist. It reminds him that failure is not the ultimate disaster. And this reminder liberates him from the mean fussing of perfectionism.

John Berger

If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.
