Nobody sees a flower really; it is so small. We haven't time, and to see takes time - like to have a friend takes time.

God told me if I painted that mountain enough, I could have it.

I have lived on a razors edge. So what if you fall off. I'd rather be doing something I wanted to do. I'd walk it again.

I can't live where I want to, I can't go where I want to go, I can't do what I want to, I can't even say what I want to. I decided I was a very stupid fool not to at least paint as I wanted to.

I look at my work and make up my mind about it. After that, neither flattery nor criticism matters to me.

When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else. Most people in the city rush around so, they have no time to look at a flower. I want them to see it whether they want to or not.
