QUOTE ABOUT DISCIPLINE

Discipline must come through liberty We do not consider an individual disciplined only when he has been rendered as artificially silent as a mute and as immovable as a paralytic. He is an individual annihilated, not disciplined.  

Discipline is based on pride, on meticulous attention to details, and on mutual respect and confidence. Discipline must be a habit so ingrained that it is stronger than the excitement of the goal or the fear of failure.


Discipline in art is a fundamental struggle to understand oneself, as much as to understand what one is drawing.

If you will discipline yourself to make your mind self-sufficient you will thereby be least vulnerable to injury from the outside.
