I must fight with all my strength so that the little positive things that my health allows me to do might be pointed toward helping the revolution. The only real reason for living.

I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best.

I am that clumsy human, always loving, loving, loving. And loving. And never leaving.

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

At the end of the day, we can endure much more than we think we can.

Really, I do not know whether my paintings are surrealist or not, but I do know that they are the frankest expression of myself.

I wanted to tell you that my whole being opened for you. Since I fell in love with you everything is transformed and is full of beauty... love is like an aroma, like a current, like rain.
