Bisexuality is almost a necessary factor in artistic production; at any rate, the tinge of masculinity within me helped me in my work.

I can always paint very well with my eyes, but with my hands it doesn't always work out.

While I drew, and wept along with the terrified children I was drawing, I really felt the burden I am bearing. I felt that I have no right to withdraw from the responsibility of being an advocate.

I am afraid of dying-but being dead, oh yes, that to me is often an appealing prospect.

Look at life with the eyes of a child.

I do not want to die... until I have faithfully made the most of my talent and cultivated the seed that was placed in me, until the last small twig has grown.

Pacifism simply is not a matter of calm looking on; it is work, hard work.
