But I always think that the best way to know God is to love many things.

The world concerns me only in so far as I have a certain debt and duty to it, because I have lived in it for thirty years and owe to it to leave behind some souvenir in the shape of drawings and paintings – not done to please any particular movement, but within which a genuine human sentiment is expressed.

There is no blue without yellow and without orange.

The laws of the colors are unutterably beautiful, just because they are not accidental.

I sometimes think there is nothing so delightful as drawing.

What is drawing? It is working oneself through an invisible iron wall that seems to stand between what one feels and what one can do.

In an artist's life, death is perhaps not the most difficult thing.
