We don't grow older, we grow riper.

I don't work from nature, I work like nature.

We have learned nothing.

In art intentions are not sufficient and, as we say in Spanish, love must be proved by deeds and not by reasons. What one does is what counts and not what one had the intention of doing.

We didn't want to sign the painting itself, that would have interfered with the composition. And even later, for that reason or for another, I sometimes marked my canvases on the back. If you don't see my signature and the date, madam, it's because the frame is hiding it.

Never copy yourself, always copy someone else.

Whether he wants it or not, man is the instrument of nature; she imposes on him character and appearance.
