After all, the goal is not making art. It is living a life. Those who live their lives will leave the stuff that is really art.
Robert Henri
Let every student enter the school with this advice. No matter how good the school is, his education is in his own hands. All education must be self education.
Robert Henri
To be free, to be happy and to be fruitful, can only be attained through sacrifice of many common but overestimated things.
Robert Henri
In a tree there is a spirit of life, a spirit of growth and a spirit of holding its head up.
Robert Henri
It seems to me that before a man tries to express anything to the world he must recognize in himself an individual, a new one, very distinct from others.
Robert Henri
Manet did not do the expected. He was a pioneer. He followed his individual whim. Told the public what he wanted it to know, not the time worn things the public already knew and thought it wanted to hear again. The public was very much offended.

Be a warhorse for work and enjoy even the struggle against defeat.
Robert Henri
Don't worry about your originality. You couldn't get rid of it even if you wanted to. It will stick with you and show up for better or worse in spite of all you or anyone else can do.
Robert Henri

Feel the dignity of a child. Do not feel superior to him, for you are not.
Robert Henri
Do whatever you do intensely.
Robert Henri
There is only one reason for art in America, and that is that the people of America learn the means of expressing themselves in their own time, and their own land.
Robert Henri
The world will see many fashions of art and most of the world will follow the fashions and make none. These cults - these 'movements' - are absolutely necessary, or at any rate their causes are, for somewhere in their centres are the ones who bear the Idea, the ones who have questioned, 'But what do I think?' and 'How shall I say it best?
Robert Henri
Know what the old masters did. Know how they composed their pictures, but do not fall into the conventions they established. These conventions were right for them, and they are wonderful. They made their language. You make yours. All the past can help you.
Robert Henri
Cherish your own emotions and never undervalue them.
Robert Henri
The more simply you see, the more simply you will render. People see too much, scatteringly.
Robert Henri
Do not let the fact that things are not made for you, that conditions are not as they should be stop you. Go on anyway. Everything depends on those who go on anyway.
Robert Henri
Art need not be intended. It comes inevitably as the tree from the root, the branch from the trunk, the blossom from the twig. None of these forget the present in looking backward or forward. They are occupied wholly with the fulfillment of their own existence.
Robert Henri
A picture should be the expression of the will of the painter.
Robert Henri
Life is finding yourself. It is a spirit development.
