Vertical and horizontal lines are the expression of two opposing forces; they exist everywhere and dominate everything; their reciprocal action constitutes 'life'. I recognized that the equilibrium of any particular aspect of nature rests on the equivalence of its opposites.

Colored planes, by their position and size as well as by their value, express only relationships, not forms.

Evolution is always the work of pioneers, and their followers are always small in number. This following is not a clique; it is the result of all the existing social forces; it is composed of all those who through innate or acquired capacity are ready to represent the existing degree of human revolution.

Intellect confuses intuition.

Every true artist has been inspired more by the beauty of lines and color and the relationships between them than by the concrete subject of the picture.

The relation of color and the relation of proportion are both based on the relation of position.

I, too, find the flower beautiful in its outward appearance. But a deeper beauty lies concealed within.
