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!

Space, and space again, is the infinite deity which surrounds us and in which we are ourselves contained.

My figures come and go, suggested by fortune or misfortune. I try to fix them divested of their apparent accidental quality.

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.

What matters is real love for things of the world outside us and for the deep secrets within us.

The stronger and more intense my desire becomes to capture and record that which is unsayable, the more tightly my mouth stays shut.

What I want to show in my work is the idea which hides itself behind so-called reality.
