In trees, I see expression and soul

For me work is an absolute necessity, indeed I can't really drag it out, I take no more pleasure in anything than in work, that's to say, pleasure in other things stops immediately and I become melancholy if I can't get on with the work.

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

Love is eternal -- the aspect may change, but not the essence. There is the same difference in a person before and after he is in love as there is in an unlighted lamp and one that is burning. The lamp was there and was a good lamp, but now it is shedding light too, and that is its real function. And love makes one calmer about many things, and that way, one is more fit for one's work.

Whatever plan one makes, there is a hidden difficulty somewhere.

Love always brings difficulties, that is true, but the good side of it is that it gives energy.

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