By my teaching I hope to inspire you to personal activity and to present your vision.

Why do we love the sea? It is because it has some potent power to make us think things we like to think.

The fun of living is that we have to make ourselves, after all.

It seems to me that before a man tries to express anything to the world he must recognize in himself an individual, a new one, very distinct from others.

There are people who buy pictures because they were difficult to do, and are done. Such pictures are often only a record of pain and dull perseverance. Great works of art should look as though they were made in joy. Real joy is a tremendous activity, dull drudgery is nothing to it.

Through art mysterious bonds of understanding and of knowledge are established among men.

Do not expect pictures to say the expected; some of the best will have surprises for you, which will, at first, shock you.
