Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone.

I don't say everything, but I paint everything.

I do not seek. I find.

Man doesn't change. He keeps his habits. Instinctively, all those people found the same corner for their kitchen. To build a city, don't men choose the same sites? Under cities you always find other cities; other churches under churches, and other houses under houses.

In the end there is only Matisse.

You cannot go against nature. She is stronger than the strongest of men. We can permit ourselves some liberties, but in details only.

A painter paints to unload himself of feelings and visions.
