"Beauty is an awareness in the mind."

"The goal of life is happiness & to respond to life as though it were perfect is the way to happiness. It is also the way to positive art work."

"The way of an artist is entirely a different way. It is a way of surrender. He must surrender to his own mind."

"Make happiness your goal."
 

-Agnes Martin
