Art should be something like a good armchair in which to rest from physical fatigue.

Seek the strongest color effect possible... the content is of no importance.

In love, the one who runs away is the winner.

Purer colors... have in themselves, independently of the objects they serve to express, a significant action on the feelings of those who look at them.

All art worthy of the name is religious.

When an artist or student draws a nude figure with painstaking care, the result is drawing, and not emotion.

There are wonderful things in Jazz, the improvisation, the liveliness, the being at one with the audience.
