I've reached the moment where the movement of my thought interests me more than the thought itself.

If there were only one truth, you couldn't paint a hundred canvases on the same theme.

You have to have an idea of what you are going to do, but it should be a vague idea.

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

When I am finished painting, I paint again for relaxation.

Everything is a miracle. It is a miracle that one does not dissolve in one's bath like a lump of sugar.

I have a real passion for bones. I have many others in Boisgeloup: skeletons of birds, dog's and sheep's heads. I even have a rhinoceros skull.
