Everything alters me, but nothing changes me.

I am making things that inspire me with a profound emotion and I am trying to paint them honestly.

Democratic governments are not suited to the publication of the thunderous revelations I am in the habit of making. The unpublished parts will appear later... when Europe will have restored its traditional monarchies.

One day it will have to be officially admitted that what we have christened reality is an even greater illusion than the world of dreams.

Beauty should be edible, or not at all.
