“Being an artist is probably the best vocation a person can choose. Few things can compare to the feeling you experience when you feel that you are suddenly in control of your craft and can create what you have in mind, and this does happen once in a while; and when it does you experience something that carries you through all the rigorous working days that are also part of the artist's everyday life.”

Ebba Carstensen in Samleren Tidsskrift for Kunst, March, 1933.
