Surely the true path is to dive deep into nature.

Conscience is a man's compass.

It is only too true that a lot of artists are mentally ill - it's a life which, to put it mildly, makes one an outsider. I'm all right when I completely immerse myself in work, but I'll always remain half crazy.

The sight of stars makes me dream.

I want to touch people with my art. I want them to say "he feels deeply, he feels tenderly".

In spite of everything I shall rise again: I will take up my pencil, which I have forsaken in my great discouragement, and I will go on with my drawing.

One can never study nature too much and too hard
