If I see everything in gray, and in gray all the colors which I experience and which I would like to reproduce, then why should I use any other color?

I've been fifty thousand times to the Louvre. I have copied everything in drawing, trying to understand.

In the past I have never thought about loneliness when working, and I don't think about it now. Yet there must be a reason for the fact that so many people talk about it.

The more I work, the more I see things differently, that is, everything gains in grandeur every day, becomes more and more unknown, more and more beautiful. The closer I come, the grander it is, the more remote it is.

Whores are the most honest girls. They present the bill right away.

When I see a head from a great distance, it ceases to be a sphere and becomes an extreme confusion falling down into the abyss.

What I am looking for is not happiness. I work solely because it is impossible for me to do anything else.
