I find myself moved by man in his new violent environment. I want to paint this explicitly and beautifully.

I like living in the 20th century... to me the world has never been more beautiful. I am trying to paint the real world I live in, as beautifully as I can with my own eyes.

Everybody gets inspired. We all have these moments. It just depends on whether you've got the ability to seize it.

Painting is a form of incarnation. It is spirit made manifest in the world.

I feel it's just some sort of game if it's just abstract.

Divide the target in proportion to the available resources

You are powerful, you are unique, you are a gift to yourself and others.

If you go up HUMBLED, you'll come down PROUD. But if you go up PROUDLY you'll come down HUMBLED.

There is nobody so irritating as somebody with less intelligence and more sense than we have.

Being able to read, write, do your sums really transforms a human being.

How much there is in books that one does not want to know, that it would be a mere weariness and burden to the spirit to know.

Greatness is the aggregation of minuteness; nor can its sublimity be felt truthfully by any mind unaccustomed to the affectionate watching of what is least.

However difficult, however scary, I had to live my truth. I chose to be more brave than I was afraid and am loving my life as a result.

I am human like everyone else. I am aware that there are people who look up to me. When mistakes are made, they aren't intentional, and I constantly push myself to be a better person.
