Love must be proven by facts and not by reasons.

The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.

The only thing that's important is the legend created by the picture, and not whether it continues to exist itself.

Often while reading a book one feels that the author wouold heave preferred to paint rather than to wirte; one can sense the pleasure he derives from describing a landscape or a person, as if he were painting what he is saying, because deep in his heart he would have preferred to use brushes and colors.

The connoisseur of painting gives only bad advice to the painter. For that reason I have given up trying to judge myself.

When I work I relax; doing nothing or entertaining visitors makes me tired.

My whole life has been nothing more than a continuous struggle against Reaction and the death of art.
