Artists must be sacrificed to their art. Like bees, they must put their lives into the sting they give.

Be an artist superior to tricks of art. Show frankly, as a saint would do, all your experience, your methods, tools, and means. Welcome all comers to the freest use of the same. And out of this superior frankness and charity, you shall learn higher secrets of your nature, which gods will bend and aid you to communicate.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Every artist was first an amateur.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Vaclav Havel

A great artist is a great man in a great child.

Victor Hugo

An artist needn't be a clergyman or a churchwarden, but he certainly must have a warm heart for his fellow men.

The American painter, John Sargent, once painted a panel of roses that was highly praised by critics. It was a small picture, but it approached perfection. Although offered a high price for it on many occasions, Sargent refused to sell it. He considered it his best work and was very proud of it.
