Keep good company - that is, go to the Louvre.

The painter must enclose himself within his work; he must respond not with words, but with paintings.

I must be more sensible and realize that at my age, illusions are hardly permitted and they will always destroy me.

Drawing and color are by no means two different things. As you paint, you draw... When color is at its richest, form is at its fullest.

Painting is founded on the heart controlled by the head.

Design and color are not distinct and separate. As one paints, one draws. The more the colors harmonize, the more the design takes form. When color is at it's richest, form is at its fullest.

If I think, everything is lost.
