If you end up falling in love with someone, it's because of them. If you end up hating someone, it's because of you.

I must continue to follow the path I take now. If I do nothing, if I study nothing, if I cease searching, then, woe is me, I am lost. That is how I look at it — keep going, keep going come what may. But what is your final goal, you may ask. That goal will become clearer, will emerge slowly but surely, much as the rough draught turns into a sketch, and the sketch into a painting through the serious work done on it, through the elaboration of the original vague idea and through the consolidation of the first fleeting and passing thought.

I felt my energy return and that I said to myself, in any event I'll recover from it, I'll pick up my pencil that I put down in my great discouragement and I'll get back to drawing, and from then on, it seems to me, everything has changed for me.

Though I am often in the depths of misery, there is still calmness, pure harmony and music inside me.

The more you love, the more you suffer.

The painter of the future will be a colorist unlike anything yet.

Find things beautiful as much as you can, most people find too little beautiful.
