What color is in a picture, enthusiasm is in life.

I wish they would take me as I am.

Someone has a great fire in his soul and nobody ever comes to warm themselves at it, and passers-by see nothing but a little smoke at the top of the chimney and then go on their way.

When we are working at a difficult task and strive after a good thing, we are fighting a righteous battle, the direct reward of which is that we are kept from much evil.

Even the knowledge of my own fallibility cannot keep me from making mistakes. Only when I fall do I get up again.

Painting as it is now promises to become more subtle - more like music and less like sculpture - and above all it promises color. If only it keeps this promise.

A good picture is equivalent to a good deed.
