We will die, but art will remain.

Our envy of others devours us most of all.

I will tell you something else: it is a major responsibility not only of portraiture but of all human communication for each of us to help everyone else discover the best that is in him.

Freedom or prison--what's the difference? A man must develop unwavering will power subject only to his reason.

The clock of communism has stopped striking. But its concrete building has not yet come crashing down. For that reason, instead of freeing ourselves, we must try to save ourselves from being crushed by its rubble.

If we don't know our own history, then we simply will have to endure all of the same mistakes, all of the same sacrifices, all of the same absurdities over again - times ten.

Communism will never be halted by negotiations or through the machinations of detente. It can only be halted by force from without or by disintegration from within.
