We...believe that art is religious, because it is one of man's highest aspirations. There is no such thing as pagan art, only good and bad art.

Life's not so bad after all. There are not only poison but also antidotes.

There's no love without pain.

Someday my paintings will be hanging in the Louvre. [Vincent Van Gogh]

Normal people do not create art.

Each of us has his own alphabet with which to create poetry.

Do not call yourself old. A man is as old as the creative force within him.
