I like subversive humor, freckles, women's knees and long hair, the laughter of playing children, and a girl running down the street.

Each thing we see hides something else we want to see.

Life obliges me to do something, so I paint.

Art evokes the mystery without which the world would not exist.

Everything that is visible hides something that is invisible.

I need to see the original paintings just as little as I have to read the original manuscripts of books.

If the dream is a translation of waking life, waking life is also a translation of the dream.
