The important thing is somehow to begin.

I think in terms of the day's resolutions, not the years'.

There is a right physical size for every idea.

The secret of life is to have a task, something you devote your entire life to, something you bring everything to, every minute of the day for the rest of your life. And the most important thing is, it must be something you cannot possibly do.

I find in all the artists that I admire most a disturbing element, a distortion, giving evidence of a struggle . . . . In great art, this conflict is hidden, it is unresolved. All that is bursting with energy is disturbing - not perfect.

I have always liked drawing, when you draw you see things more intensely.

You must always be open to your luck. You cannot force it, but you can recognize it.
