When you begin a picture you often make some pretty discoveries. You must be on guard against these. Destroy the thing, do it over several times. In each destroying of a beautiful discovery, the artist does not really suppress it, but rather condenses it, makes it more substantial. What comes out in the end is the result of discarded finds. Otherwise you become your own connoisseur.

Through art we express our conception of what nature is not.

I draw like other people bite their nails.

It is personality with a penny's worth of talent. Error which chances to rise above the commonplace.

Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success.

In every photographer there was a painter, a true artist, awaiting expression.
