Others have seen what is and asked why. I have seen what could be and asked why not.

Every positive value has its price in negative terms... the genius of Einstein leads to Hiroshima.

Everybody has the same energy potential. The average person wastes his in a dozen little ways. I bring mine to bear on one thing only: my paintings, and everything else is sacrificed to it...myself included.

Style is besides the point. Nobody would pay attention if one always said the same thing, in the same words and the same tone of voice.

Braque always said that the only thing that counts, in painting, is the intention, and it's true. What counts is what one wants to do, and not what one does. That's what's important.

I hate it when people pilfer my things.

One must act in painting as in life, directly.
