Christ is more of an artist than the artists; he works in the living spirit and the living flesh, he makes men instead of statues.

That I was not suited to commerce or academic study in no way proves that I should also be unfit to be a painter.

That this awareness of my own fallibility will prevent me from making many mistakes doesn't alter the fact that I'm bound to make a great many mistakes anyway. But if we fall, we get up again!

I always dream a painting like that, with a group of lively figures of the pals.

I believe more and more that God must not be judged on this earth. It is one of His sketches that has turned out badly.

We must not judge God from this world. It's just a study that didn't come off. It's only a master who could make such a blunder.

It's better to have a gay life of it than to commit suicide.
