Be guided by feelings alone. Abandon yourself to your first impression. If you really have been touched, you will convey to others the sincerity of your emotion.

Never lose the first impression which has moved you.

The first things to study are form and values. For me, these are the things that are the basics of what is serious in art.

I always entreat the good Lord to give me my childhood back, that is to say, to grant that I may see nature and render it like a child, without prejudice.

I hope with all my heart there will be painting in heaven.
