Painting is a faith, and it imposes the duty to disregard public opinion.
We take death to reach a star
Man is not on the earth solely for his own happiness. He is there to realize great things for humanity.
I want to paint what I feel, and feel what I paint.
Keep your love of nature, for that is the true way to understand art more and more.
To stick to the present and not let it pass without drawing some profit from it, that's what I think duty is. ...let us perservere as far as we can rather today than tomorrow.
