Failure is my best friend. If I succeeded, it would be like dying. Maybe worse.

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.

It is impossible to do a thing the way I see it because the closer I get the more differently I see.

All the sculptures of today, like those of the past, will end one day in pieces... So it is important to fashion ones work carefully in its smallest recess and charge every particle of matter with life.

That's the terrible thing: the more one works on a picture, the more impossible it becomes to finish it.

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?

The form is always the measure of the obsession.
