Love is eternal, the aspect may change, but not the essence. 


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.

I know for sure that I have an instinct for color, and that it will come to me more and more, that painting is in the very marrow of my bones.

I see more and more that my work goes infinitely better when I am properly fed, and the paints are there, and the studio and all that... I wish I could manage to make you really understand that when you give money to artists, you are yourself doing an artist's work, and that I only want my pictures to be of such a quality that you will not be too dissatisfied with your work.

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.

There is nothing more beautiful than nature early in the morning.

My aim in life is to make pictures and drawings, as many and as well as I can; then, at the end of my life... looking back with love and tender regret, and thinking, 'Oh, the pictures I might have made!'
