It's not enough to be nice in life. You've got to have nerve.

I do not like the idea of happiness - it is too momentary - I would say that I was always busy and interested in something - interest has more meaning to me than the idea of happiness.

I decided I was a very stupid fool not to at least paint as I wanted to.

I've been absolutely terrified every moment of my life - and I've never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do.

I have already settled it for myself so flattery and criticism go down the same drain and I am quite free.

The days you work are the best days.

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