“It is good to love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is well done.”

Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.

Everywhere we look, complex magic of nature blazes before our eyes.

The great artist is the simplifier.

Find things beautiful as much as you can, most people find too little beautiful.

Art demands constant observation.

I am seeking, I am striving, I am in it with all my heart.

There is no blue without yellow and without orange.

One must never let the fire go out in one’s soul, but keep it burning.

It is very necessary to work in the garden and see the flowers growing.

I put my heart and soul into my work, and I have lost my mind in the process.

There is nothing more truly artistic than to love people.

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

The only time I feel alive is when I’m painting.
