A plagiarist steals from one person. A true artist steals from everybody.

Don't waste your youth growing up.

If you give a meaning to certain things in my paintings it may be very true, but it is not my idea to give this meaning. What ideas and conclusions you have got I obtained too, but instinctively, unconsciously. I make the painting for the painting. I paint the objects for what they are.

It is not what an artist does that counts...but what he is.

Art is a leap into the dark.

The hidden harmony is better than the obvious.

You mustn't always believe what I say. Questions tempt you to tell lies, particularly when there is no answer.
