I drank to drown my sorrows, but the damned things learned how to swim.

I never knew I was a surrealist till Andre Breton came to Mexico and told me I was.

pain, pleasure and death are no more than a process for existence. The revolutionary struggle in this process is a doorway open to intelligence

I used to think I was the strangest person in the world but then I thought there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do. I would imagine her, and imagine that she must be out there thinking of me too. Well, I hope that if you are out there and read this and know that, yes, it's true I'm here, and I'm just as strange as you.

The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to.

They thought I was a Surrealist, but I wasn't. I never painted dreams. I painted my own reality.

Painting completed my life.
