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

As you can see, I am immersing myself in color-I've held back from that until now; and I don't regret it.

Do not become the slave of your model.

Art is but imitation of nature.

Here everything is so wholly what I consider beautiful. In other words, there is peace here.

Art, although produced by man's hands, is something not created by hands alone, but something which wells up from a deeper source out of our soul.....My sympathies in the literary as well as in the artistic field are drawn most strongly to those artists in whom I see most the working of the soul.

Success is sometimes the outcome of a whole string of failures.
