Robert Henri

I am interested in art as a means of living a life; not as a means of making a living.

Do whatever you do intensely.

Genius is not a possession of the limited few, but exists in some degree in everyone. Where there is natural growth, a full and free play of faculties, genius will manifest itself.

Consulting the rules of composition before taking a photograph, is like consulting the laws of gravity before going for a walk.

It's a wonderful feeling to be a bridge to the past and to unite generations. The sport of baseball does that, and I am just a part of it.

If I can add, say, 10 great new violin concertos to the repertoire before I'm done, that will be truly exciting.
