Only God can judge me.
Play the game, never let the game play you.
I’m not perfect. But I’ll always be real.
As practice makes perfect, I cannot but make progress; each drawing one makes, each study one paints, is a step forward.
There may be a great fire in our hearts, yet no one ever comes to warm himself at it, and the passers-by see only a wisp of smoke.
The sadness will last forever.
I long so much to make beautiful things. But beautiful things require effort and disappointment and perseverance.
Paintings have a life of their own that derives from the painter’s soul.
In spite of everything, I shall rise again.
I am in no sense of the word a great artist, not even a great animator; I have always had men working for me whose skills were greater than my own. I am an idea man.
I live one day at a time, one day at a time. Yesterday’s gone and tomorrow is blind, so I live one day at a time.
If your life changes, we can change the world, too.
Art is my life and my life is art.
You can’t be old and wise, if you were never young and crazy.

No need to fix what God already put his paint brush on.

How many roads must a man walk down, Before you call him a man? How many seas must a white dove sail, Before she sleeps in the sand? Yes, and how many times must the cannon balls fly, Before they’re forever banned?
The man who never alters his opinions is like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind.
You cannot have Liberty in this world without what you call Moral Virtue, and you cannot have Moral Virtue without the slavery of that half of the human race who hate what you call Moral Virtue.
