Sitting quietly, doing nothing, spring comes, and the grass grows by itself.

Love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well.

I paint my own reality. The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration.

I start a picture and I finish it. I don't think about art while I work. I try to think about life.

When I'm painting, I'm not aware of what I'm doing. It's only after a get acquainted period that I see what I've been about.

"At one time, the earth was supposed to be flat.  Well, so it is, even today, from Paris to Asnieres.  But that fact doesn't prevent science from proving that the earth as a whole is spherical.  No one nowadays denies it.  Well...we are still at the stage of believing that life itself is flat, the distance from birth to death.  Yet the probability is that life, too, is spherical and much more extensive and capacious than the hemisphere we know."
