I leave you my portrait so that you will have my presence all the days and nights that I am away from you.

I paint flowers so they will not die.

No moon, sun, diamond, hands — fingertip, dot, ray, gauze, sea. pine green, pink glass, eye, mine, eraser, mud, mother, I am coming.

I don’t like the gringos at all. They are very boring and all have faces like unbaked rolls.

It's not possible to present an accurate picture of our culture without all the voices of the people in the culture. So at the emerging level, you can't have a good survey art show without women and artists of color.

I think that little by little I'll be able to solve my problems and survive.

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