A painting is a symbol for the universe. Inside it, each piece relates to the other. Each piece is only answerable to the rest of that little world. So, probably in the total universe, there is that kind of total harmony, but we get only little tastes of it.

That's why people listen to music or look at paintings. To get in touch with that wholeness.

It is a huge danger to pretend that awful things do not happen. But you need enough hope to keep going. I am trying to make hope. Flowers grow out of darkness.

To be disciplined is to follow in a good way. To be self disciplined is to follow in a better way.

Nothing is a mistake. There’s no win and no fail. There’s only make.
