I do not deny that I have made drawings and watercolors of an erotic nature. But they are always works of art. Are there no artists who have done erotic pictures?

My mother is a very strange woman... She doesn't understand me in the least and doesn't love me much either. If she had either love or understanding she would be prepared to make sacrifices

I must see new things and investigate them. I want to taste dark water and see crackling trees and wild winds.

To restrict the artist is a crime. It is to murder germinating life

Bodies have their own light which they consume to live: they burn, they are not lit from the outside.

I don't know whether there is anyone else at all who remembers my noble father with such sadness

Everything is dead while it lives.
