If only people were trees… I might like them better.

It seems to me very important to the idea of democracy to the country and to the world eventually that all men and women stand equal under the sky.

I know now that most people are so closely concerned with themselves that they are not aware of their own individuality, I can see myself, and it has helped me to say what I want to say in paint.

I know I can not paint a flower, I can not paint the sun on the desert on a bright summer morning but maybe in terms of paint colour I can convey to you my experience of the flower or the experience that makes the flower of significance to me at that particular time.

I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for.

I decided to accept as true my own thinking.

Someone else's vision will never be as good as your own vision of your self. Live and die with it 'cause in the end it's all you have. Lose it and you lose yourself and everything else. I should have listened to myself.
