It's not your pictures I like; it's your painting.

Do not be afraid of spending quality time by yourself. Find meaning or don’t find meaning but “steal” some time and give it freely and exclusively to your own self. Opt for privacy and solitude. That doesn’t make you antisocial or cause you to reject the rest of the world. But you need to breathe. And you need to be.

I cling like a miser to the freedom that disappears as soon as there is an excess of things.

When I see a new face, something sets off an alarm bell inside me. 'slow down! Danger!' Even when the attraction is strongest, I am on my guard.

All great deeds and all great thoughts have a ridiculous beginning.

Man is always prey to his truths. Once he has admitted them, he cannot free himself from them.

Once in the midst of a seemingly endless winter, I discovered within myself an invincible spring.
