“I discovered that the most dangerous mask is the one worn by intelligent people because they are clever at their disguise.”

Drawing is like the first kiss. It carries within it the deepest emotion and the challenge of the first step.

For those whom my love can not immune from death, are dedicated these paintings, in the hope they may express in drawing the reality of a resonant mind.

We don’t usually see light traveling in darkness of space because we only can see its reflection on substance.

It is the first cry after birth

Events of early Monday July 14, 1958 [Coup in Iraq] had convinced me that hate is the most destructive force in our life.

I have to display what I have seen to people.

Cursed in earth and subdued by death, man found himself beset by time, and his instincts put to the test.

Early on in my life I comprehended that death is the most tragic event in our life.

Art should stimulate.

In the ’50s, critics used to say I had a ‘dangerous’ act.

You yourself don’t have to be shaken by mortal danger in order to feel your mortality.

The bottom line is what we do might not be the safest so there is always some risk but we are ready to take that into account because we love racing and we love motor sports and it is dangerous.

Princes and governments are far more dangerous than other elements within society.

It’s dangerous when people are willing to give up their privacy.

There are bad people who would be less dangerous if they were quite devoid of goodness.

Timidity is a fault for which it is dangerous to reprove persons whom we wish to correct of it.
