The victory one would gain after a whole life of work and effort is better than one that is gained sooner.

One must work and dare if one really wants to live.

Drawing is the root of everything, and the time spent on that is actually all profit.

Seek only light and freedom and do not immerse yourself too deeply in the worldly mire.

One can speak poetry just by arranging colors well, just as one can say comforting things in music.

No, no thought to the winnings. One loves because one loves.

It is the painting that makes me so happy these days.
