When you paint, try to put down exactly what you see. Whatever else you have to offer will come out anyway.

The most interesting part of my life is of no concern to the public.

What's the use? The people are too stupid. They do not understand.

You will see, in the future I will live by my watercolors.

Artists should never look at pictures, but should stutter in a language of their own.

If a man wants to be an artist, he should never look at pictures.

Never put more than two waves in a picture; it's fussy.
