I'm an old sinner. Nothing shocks me.

Man as an individual is a genius. But men in the mass form the headless monster, a great, brutish idiot that goes where prodded.

That's the trouble with the world. We all despise ourselves.

I always like walking in the rain, so no one can see me crying.

All my pictures are built around the idea of getting in trouble and so giving me the chance to be desperately serious in my attempt to appear as a normal little gentleman.

Life is a beautiful, magnificent thing, even to a jellyfish... The trouble is you won't fight. You've given in, continually dwelling on sickness and death. But there's something just as inevitable as death, and that's life. Life, life, life. Think of all the power that's in the universe, moving the earth, growing the trees. That's the same power within you if you only have courage and the will to use it.

To those who can hear me, I say, do not despair. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed, the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress.
