A strange thing is memory, and hope; one looks backward, and the other forward; one is of today, the other of tomorrow. Memory is history recorded in our brain, memory is a painter, it paints pictures of the past and of the day.

I would never sit back in a rocking chair, waiting for someone to help me.

A primitive artist is an amateur whose work sells.

People should take time to be happy.

I like to paint something that leads me on and on into the unknown, something that I want to see away on beyond.

Memory is a painter. Paintin's not important. The important thing is keepin' busy.

I have written my life in small sketches, a little today, a little yesterday, as I have thought of it, as I remember all the things from childhood on through the years, good ones and unpleasant ones, that is how they come out and that is how we have to take them.
