In my view you cannot claim to have seen something until you have photographed it.

I am spending delightful afternoons in my garden, watching everything living around me. As I grow older, I feel everything departing, and I love everything with more passion.

Art is a corner of creation seen through a temperament.

There are two men inside the artist, the poet and the craftsman. One is born a poet. One becomes a craftsman.

The past was but the cemetery of our illusions: one simply stubbed one's toes on the gravestones.

Civilization will not attain to its perfection until the last stone from the last church falls on the last priest.

The only basis for living is believing in life, loving it, and applying the whole force of one's intellect to know it better.
