“I am always doing what I cannot do yet, in order to learn how to do it.”

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.

The large majority of people are asleep and do not wish to wake up.

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.

I am still far from being what I want to be, but with God’s help I shall succeed.

No, no thought to the winnings. One loves because one loves.

If I succeed in putting some warmth and love into the work, then it will find friends.

Purity of soul and impurity of body can go together.

Art is something greater and higher than our own skill or knowledge or learning.

Normality is a paved road: It’s comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it.

I can’t run away when I’m scared. I always have to attack. That’s how I deal with seemingly difficult things.

A goal is just a dream with a deadline.

You’re only given a little spark of madness. You mustn’t lose it.

I don’t worry about maintaining the quality of my life, because every day I work on improving it.

I work hard because I love my work.

Decision making, like coffee, needs a cooling process.

If I am anything, which I highly doubt, I have made myself so by hard work.

Vision without execution is daydreaming.
