To believe in God for me is to feel that there is a God, not a dead one, or a stuffed one, who with irresistible force urges us towards more loving.

For myself, I declare I don't know anything about it. But the sight of the stars always makes me dream.

So often, a visit to a bookshop has cheered me, and reminded me that there are good things in the world.

The painter of the future will be a colorist unlike anything yet.

If you work with love and intelligence, you develop a kind of armour against people's opinions, just because of the sincerity of your love for nature and art. Nature is also severe and, to put it that way, hard, but never deceives and always helps you to move forward.

Even this artistic life, which we know is not real life, appears to me to be so alive and so vital that it would be a form ingratitude not to be content with it.

If you end up falling in love with someone, it's because of them. If you end up hating someone, it's because of you.
