Art is to console those who are broken by life.

Ideas for work are coming to me in abundance...I'm going like a painting-locomotive.

In spite of everything, I shall rise again

For great things do not done just happen by impulse but are a succession of small things linked together.

The more ugly, old, nasty, ill, and poor I become the more I want to get my own back by producing vibrant, well-arranged, radiant colour.

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.

I am always doing what I can't do yet in order to learn how to do it.
