Come home to men's business and bosoms.

The less people speak of their greatness, the more we think of it.

A bad man is worse when he pretends to be a saint.

Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand - and melting like a snowflake.

I think that one of the things is that, if you are going to decide to be a painter, you have got to decide that you are not going to be afraid of making a fool of yourself. I think another thing is to be able to find subjects which really absorb you to try and do. I feel that without a subject you automatically go back into decoration because you haven't got the subject which is always eating into you to bring it back - and the greatest art always returns you to the vulnerability of the human situation.

Great changes are easier than small ones.

The nature of things betrays itself more readily under the vexations of art than in its natural freedom.
