Art, although produced by man's hands, is something not created by hands alone, but something which wells up from a deeper source out of our soul.....My sympathies in the literary as well as in the artistic field are drawn most strongly to those artists in whom I see most the working of the soul.

Still, there is a calm, pure harmony, and music inside of me.

To the one party, woman is always heresy and diabolical. To me, the opposite.

Painting is like having a bad mistress who spends and spends and it's never enough ... I tell myself that even if a tolerable study comes out of it from time to time, it would have been cheaper to buy it from somebody else.

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.

In trees, I see expression and soul

Painting demands an intelligent model.
