the more I live, the more I regret how little i know

What I need most of all is color, always, always.

The effect of sincerity is to give one's work the character of a protest. The painter, being concerned only with conveying his impression, simply seeks to be himself and no one else.

What could be said about me...a man to whom only his painting matters? And of course his garden and his flowers as well.

It is a tragedy that we live in a world where physical courage is so common, and moral courage is so rare.

Gardening was something I learned in my youth when I was unhappy. I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers.

All I did was to look at what the universe showed me, to let my brush bear witness to it.
