Great art is the outward expression of an inner life in the artist, and this inner life will result in his personal vision of the world…The inner life of a human being is a vast and varied realm.

In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts; they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty.

Both quotes, Edward Hopper, American realist painter
