The things one experiences alone with oneself are very much stronger and purer.

I believe it safe to say that all progress must lead, not to further progress, but finally to the negation of progress, a return to the point of departure.

Experience has two things to teach. The first is that we must correct a great deal and the second, that we must not correct too much.

What is real for me are the illusions I create with my paintings. Everything else is quicksand.

The secret of not having worries, for me at least, is to have ideas.

The outcome of my days is always the same; an infinite desire for what one never gets; a void one cannot fill; an utter yearning to produce in all ways, to battle as much as possible against time that drags us along, and the distractions that throw a veil over our soul.

We work not only to produce, but to give value to time.
