Jack Shadbolt quotes:

Drawing is an idea more than fact.

Whatever I think of, I dismember.

I am nature. Nature is me. What I create is what I must create. That I create it is fundamental. I am both anonymous and very precious since I belong to all growth which is life. Therefore I must grow well. What I shape I must shape well.

An artist is no bigger than the size of his mind.

I have come to see that an artist is not given a form - a style - but his nature merely gives him the ingredients wherewith to shape an equation of life.

I always feel I'm getting near to something that's got more to it than I can get hold of.
