Fritz Scholder Quotations

Remember that life is short and death is long.

I give thanks everyday that I've been able to take my craziness and make it work for me.

I consider myself a natural optimist. I like the dark side of things.

The artist has to transcend a subject, or he loses the battle. The subject wins.

You must walk that tightrope between accident and discipline. Accident by itself…so what? Discipline by itself is boring. By walking that tightrope and putting down something on a canvascoming from your guts, you have a chance of making marks that will live longer than you.

We need art more than ever as we stagger toward the Millennium.

If I could only have one more day, I could do a great painting.
