I think, what has this day brought me, and what have I given it?

Abstraction means getting away from a visual interpretation but nearer to an emotional one.

I'm very grateful that I was too poor to get to art school until I was 21. . . I was old enough when I got there to know how to get something out of it.

There is nothing greater than enthusiasm.

All art is an abstraction to some degree.

Nothing raises the price of a blessing like its removal; whereas, it was its continuance which should have taught us its value. [It is wise to be grateful of what we have while we have it.]

The important thing is somehow to begin.
