I don’t think I’m made for any earthly kind of pleasure.
My life has been nothing but a failure.
Most people think I paint fast. I paint very slowly.
To see we must forget the name of the thing we are looking at.
It's on the strength of observation and reflection that one finds a way. So we must dig and delve unceasingly.
Nothing in the whole world is of interest to me but my painting and my flowers.
