“The only thing to do is to go one’s own way, to try one’s best, to make the thing live.”

Painting is a faith, and it imposes the duty to disregard public opinion.

Man is not on the earth solely for his own happiness. He is there to realize great things for humanity.

If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere.

What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?

The more you love, the more you suffer.

If I am worth anything later, I am worth something now. For wheat is wheat, even if people think it is a grass in the beginning.

The beginning is perhaps more difficult than anything else, but keep heart, it will turn out all right.

It is only too true that a lot of artists are mentally ill.

I don’t know anything with certainty, but seeing the stars makes me dream.

Someday death will take us to another star.

There is peace even in the storm

I dream my painting and I paint my dream.

In spite of everything, I shall rise again.

I believe more and more that God must not be judged on this earth. It is one of His sketches that has turned out badly.

If there’s any lesson I’ve learned in the last five years, it’s don’t be so sure about what lies ahead. There are amazing doors that could open.

Live each day as if it were your last for some day it will be.

All sins are attempts to fill voids.

There’s an inherent message in my work relating to recycling and the nature of value, but my artistic inspiration is fired by the qualities within the raw materials.

Glass can shatter, yet still be created into nothing short of art. And so can you.

When we are crushed like grapes, we cannot think of the wine we will become.

Respect your curses, for they are the instruments of your destiny.

Where you are now, is not where you will always be.
