Success or failure depends more upon attitude than upon capacity successful men act as though they have accomplished or are enjoying something. Soon it becomes a reality. Act look feel successful conduct yourself accordingly and you will be amazed at the positive results.

Art must take reality by surprise.

How can anybody learn anything from an artwork when the piece of art only reflects the vanity of the artist and not reality?

Art has a double face of expression and illusion just like science has a double face: the reality of error and the phantom of truth.

Art is man's constant effort to create for himself a different order of reality from that which is given to him.

There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality.

The biggest problem with every art is by the use of appearance to create a loftier reality.

Art is not merely an imitation of the reality of nature but in truth a metaphysical supplement to the reality of nature placed alongside thereof for its conquest.

Art is not a study of positive reality it is the seeking for ideal truth.

Without art the crudeness of reality would make the world unbearable.
