More quotes by M. C. Escher

M. C. Escher
Simplicity and order are, if not the principal, then certainly the most important guidelines for human beings in general.

Drawing is deception.
M. C. Escher
I came to the ... open gate of mathematics. From here, well-trodden paths lead in every direction, and since then I have often spent time there. Sometimes I think ... I have trodden all the paths ... and then I suddenly discover a new path and experience fresh delights.
M. C. Escher

M. C. Escher
So let us then try to climb the mountain, not by stepping on what is below us, but to pull us up at what is above us, for my part at the stars amen.
M. C. Escher
I don't use drugs, my dreams are frightening enough.
M. C. Escher
I might be in the basement. I'll go upstairs and check.
M. C. Escher
I am always wandering around in enigmas. There are young people who constantly come to tell me: you, too, are making Op Art. I haven't the slightest idea what that is, Op Art. I've been doing this work for thirty years now.
M. C. Escher
It is human nature to want to exchange ideas, and I believe that, at bottom, every artist wants no more than to tell the world what he has to say.
M. C. Escher
If I am not mistaken, the word art and artist did not exist during the Renaissance and before: there were simply architects, sculptors, and painters, practicing a trade.
M. C. Escher
