I roamed the countryside searching for answers to things I did not understand. Why shells existed on the tops of mountains. How the various circles of water form around the spot which has been struck by a stone, and why a bird sustains itself in the air.

He who loves practice without theory is like the sailor who boards ship without a rudder and compass and never knows where he may cast.

The painter has the Universe in his mind and hands.

The moment is timeless.
