The important thing about Dada, it seems to me, is that Dadaists despised what is commonly regarded as art, but put the whole universe on the lofty throne of art.

Artists should work together like the artists of the Middle Ages.

I like nature but not its substitutes... Mondrian opposed art to nature saying that art is artificial and nature is natural. I do not share this opinion... Art's origins are natural.

Ever since my childhood, I was haunted by the search for perfection. An imperfectly cut paper literally made me ill. I would guillotine it.

I allow myself to be guided by the work which is in the process of being born. I have confidence in it. I do not think about it.

To be full of joy when looking at an oeuvre is not a little thing.

Any work that is not rooted in myth and poetry or that does not partake of the depth and essence of the universe is merely a ghost.
