"Love is the greatest refreshment in life."

"We all know that Art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize truth at least the truth that is given us to understand. The artist must know the manner whereby to convince others of the truthfulness of his lies."

"There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality."

"Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success."

"It takes a very long time to become young."

"Action is the foundational key to all success."

"Art is not the application of a canon of beauty but what the instinct and the brain can conceive beyond any canon. When we love a woman we don't start measuring her limbs."

"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."

"It takes a very long time to become young."

"The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls."

"Everything you can imagine is real."

"The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls."

"Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist."

"The people who make art their business are mostly imposters."

"I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it."

"Everything you can imagine is real."

"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up."

"Sculpture is the art of the intelligence."

"Painting is just another way of keeping a diary."

"God is really only another artist. He invented the giraffe, the elephant and the cat. He has no real style, He just goes on trying other things."
