I try in my prints to testify that we live in a beautiful and orderly world, and not in a formless chaos, as it sometimes seems.

It is human nature to want to exchange ideas, and I believe that, at bottom, every artist wants no more than to tell the world what he has to say.

To have peace with this peculiar life; to accept what we do not understand; to wait calmly for what awaits us, you have to be wiser than I am.

I believe that producing pictures, as I do, is almost solely a question of wanting so very much to do it well.

What I give form to in daylight is only one per cent of what I have seen in darkness.

The things I want to express are so beautiful and pure.

I might be in the basement. I'll go upstairs and check. We adore chaos because we love to produce order. I don't use drugs; my dreams are frightening enough.
