“Art hovers around the truth, but with the firm intention not to burn itself.”

“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.”

“Art is the reflection that the dazzled human soul gives back of the splendor of the beautiful.”

“Only children know what they are looking for.”

“One sees clearly only with the heart. The essential is invisible to the eyes.”

“But where are the snows of yesteryear?”

“Perfumes, colors, and sounds respond to one another.”

“Art is the premonition of truth.”

“Beauty is always strange. I do not mean that it is deliberately, coldly strange, for in that case it would be a monster off the rails of life. I say that it always contains a little strangeness, a naive strangeness.”

“If the world were clear, art would not be.”

“Genius is childhood rediscovered at will.”

“Only through art can we emerge from ourselves and know what another person sees.”

“To create is always to speak of childhood.”
