By the combination of lines and colors, under the pretext of some motif taken from nature, I create symphonies and harmonies that represent nothing absolutely real in the ordinary sense of the word but are intended to give rise to thoughts as music does.

Painting is the most beautiful of all arts. In it, all sensations are condensed, at its aspect everyone may create romance at the will of his imagination, and at a glance have his soul invaded by the most profound memories, no efforts of memory, everything summed up in one moment. Complete art which sums up all the others and completes them.

We never really know what stupidity is until we have experimented on ourselves.

Seek art and abstraction in nature by dreaming in the presence of it.

Poor artist! You gave away part of your soul when you painted the picture which you are now trying to dispose of.

When the physical organism breaks up, the soul survives. It then takes on another body.

Life is hardly more than a fraction of a second. Such a little time to prepare oneself for eternity!
