I have no fear of photography as long as it cannot be used in heaven and in hell.

Nature is not only all that is visible to the eye... it also includes the inner pictures of the soul.

From my rotting body, flowers shall grow and I am in them and that is eternity.

No longer shall I paint interiors with men reading and women knitting. I will paint living people who breathe and feel and suffer and love.

What is art? Art grows from joy and sorrow, but mostly from sorrow. It grows from human lives.

I don’t believe in an art that is not born out of man’s need to open his heart.

All art, literature, and music must be born in your heart's blood. Art is your heart's blood.

There is a battle that goes on between men and women. Many people call it love.

The viewers must come to understand the sacredness of painting, so they will remove their hats as if they were in church.

I do not believe in the art which is not the compulsive result of man's urge to open his heart

We are fragile beings, yet we often act as though we couldn't be hurt, and as though we couldn't hurt other people.

Ireland is a fatal disease fatal to Englishmen and doubly fatal to Irishmen.

When I set goals, they're more tangible than becoming famous. You don't build a company or a foundation for fame.

But vegetarians can eat this...Because intestines aren't even meat, Liz. They're just sh$*.

When years from now people look back on today, they will think the same thing they already do but with more reasons for it.

Oh child, your language is so utterly simple and limited that it has the affect of extreme complication. -Aunt Beast

Its like if you take acid, it burns out brain cells and they dont regrow. Rock is like that-it has killed beautiful people musically, physically and mentally.

I think everybody wants to be loved, all the time, but it's not realistic. It's also not realistic, if you're going to be ambitious, in terms of changing the form or evolving.

If I had to embrace a definition of success, it would be that success is making the best choices we can ... and accepting them.
