“It is commonly thought that everything that is can be put into words.”

My paintings are not about what is seen. They are about what is known forever in the mind.

When I first made a grid I happened to be thinking of the innocence of trees and then this grid came into my mind and I thought it represented innocence, and I still do, and so I painted it and then I was satisfied. I thought, this is my vision.

You can’t make a perfect painting. We can see perfection in our minds. But we can’t make a perfect painting.

The enormous pitfall is devotion to oneself instead of to life. All works that are self-devoted are absolutely ineffective.

All that seems like error is not error; and it all has to be done. That which seems like a false step is the next step.

Beauty is the mystery of life. It is not in the eye, it is in the mind.

To progress in life you must give up the things you do not like.

You have to penetrate these and hear what your mind is telling you to do. Such work is original work.

I think it’s a response in our minds to perfection. It’s too bad, people not realizing that their minds expand beyond this world.

We all have the same concern, but the artist must know exactly what the experience is. He must pursue the truth relentlessly

Doing what you were born to do … That’s the way to be happy.

I’m very careful not to have ideas, because they’re inaccurate.

I want to emphasize the fact that we all have the same experience and the same concern, but the artist must know exactly what the experience is. He must pursue the truth relentlessly.

I want to say that they are not what they seem to be. I want to say that all that seems like fantastic mistakes are not mistake.

Give up doing the things that you do not like to do.

Art is the concrete representation of our most subtle feelings.

The mission of God flows directly through every believer and every community of faith that adheres to Jesus.

What is commonly called a pest is nature’s way of bringing back into balance an imbalance that man has created.
