It was so wonderful outside that even the wild senselessness of this enormous death, whose music I hear again and again, could not disturb me from my great enjoyment!

There is nothing I hate more than sentimentality.

I believe the reason I love painting so much is that it forces one to be objective.

If you wish to get hold of the invisible you must penetrate as deeply as possible into the visible.

The greatest mystery of all is reality.

In principle, any abstraction of the object is allowed which has a sufficiently strong creative power behind it.

The important thing is first of all to have a real love for the visible world that lies outside ourselves as well as to know the deep secret of what goes on within ourselves.
