A thousand painters ought to be killed yearly. Say what you like: I'm every inch a painter.

I lack the magnificent richness of color that animates nature.

Right now a moment of time is passing by!... We must become that moment.

We live in a rainbow of chaos.

Pure drawing is an abstraction. Drawing and colour are not distinct, everything in nature is coloured.

For an Impressionist to paint from nature is not to paint the subject, but to realize sensations.

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.
