Art is not a treasure in the past or an importation from another land, but part of the present life of all living and creating peoples.

Beauty perishes in life, but is immortal in art.

My fashion is my most prized possession for two reasons: 1) because it is a visualization of all the hard work I've put in to get where I am today; 2) because it is a legend to the encyclopedia of my life. It is exactly what I've aimed to seep into the artistic consciousness of people all over the world - that life is an art form.

Even luxuries are arranged according to ideas and ideals, to make them reflect as much of thought-life as possible - and this is Art.

Art is the uniting of the subjective with the objective, of nature with reason, of the unconscious with the conscious, and therefore art is the highest means of knowledge.

Art is a microscope which the artist fixes on the secrets of his soul, and shows to people these secrets which are common to all.
