I haven't even ever wanted to distort. I isolate and represent.

Prodigy only feeds on prodigy, fantasy on fantasy.

I couldn't get used to the community and social life of a theatrical set designer.

I call prodigy all that is invented, all that begins to exist from the second it is conceived, it is the process not the results, the principle and not the fruits.

All I know is that mine was a completely new theory about art, a new approach that made the pictures appear just like life does.

I always use given and simple elements, I don't want to add or subtract anything.

An audience is perhaps unnecessary to the soul-searching mystic, but it is vital to the magician, the maker of prodigies.

My themes are derived from current events, from familiar situations, from daily life, because I never actively intervene against the object, I can feel the magic of its presence.

I know how pathetically inadequate my medium [painting] is, but unfortunately I dispose of no other.

My life provides me with these images that become expressions of my daily experience.

Your mind believes what you tell it.

REJECT ALL FORMS OF CORRUPTION THAT DIVERT RESOURCES FROM THE POOR

Even if a man should chance to speak the most complete truth, yet he himself does not know it; all things are wrapped in appearances
