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

The world concerns me only in so far as I feel a certain indebtedness and duty toward it because I have walked this earth for thirty years, and, out of gratitude, want to leave some souvenir in the shape of drawings or pictures — not made to please a certain taste in art, but to express a sincere human feeling.

Often whole days pass without my speaking to anyone, except to ask for diner or coffee. And it has been like that form the beginning.

The wheat field has ...poetry; it is like a memory of something one has once seen. We can only make our pictures speak.

If your inner voice is telling you that you can't paint, by all means, hurry up and paint and silence the voice.

My opinion is that the best thing would be to work on till art lovers feel drawn toward it of their own accord, instead of having to praise or to explain it.

You can feel the stars and the infinity of the sky since life, in spite of everything, is like a dream.
