Poetry is what gets lost in translation

The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance

Art seeks the essence, not the surface

Creativity is intelligence having fun

Playfulness and intellect combine in creative work

Art is the lie that enables us to realize the truth

Fiction and imagination reveal deeper truths than facts alone

Less is more

Simplicity and restraint can be more powerful than excess

Good artists copy; great artists steal

True originality transforms influences into something new

Form follows function

Design should be determined by purpose, not decoration
