“Go and do the things you can’t. That is how you get to do them.”

Love is the greatest refreshment in life

Sex and art are the same thing.

Art is a lie that makes us realize the truth.

The important thing is to create. Nothing else matters; creation is all.

Age only matters when one is aging.

A picture is not thought out and settled beforehand. While it is being done it changes as one’s thoughts change.

When I paint a woman in an armchair, the armchair is there to show illness and death-or as a protection.

A painter paints to unload himself of feelings and visions.

I paint objects as I think them not as I see them.

No, painting is not interior decoration. It is an instrument of war for attack and defense against the enemy.

I don’t say everything, but I paint everything.

Good taste is the enemy of creativity.

He can who thinks he can, and he can’t who thinks he can’t. This is an inexorable, indisputable law.

The first half of life is learning to be an adult-the second half is learning to be a child.

The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider’s web.

Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone.

If you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself, and make a change.

Life is a river always flowing, do not hold onto things, work hard.

Not all birds can fly. What separates the flyers from the walkers is the ability to take off.

I dont want to tell my dreams, I want to show them!

Even in the civil rights movement, there were so many unbelievable women. They never, ever received the credit that they should have received. They did all of the, and I cannot say it, they did all of the dirty work. Hard work.

Keep your eyes on the finish line and not on the turmoil around you.

The secret to getting ahead is getting started.

Hardship often prepares an ordinary person for an extraordinary destiny.
