Face the facts of being what you are, for that is what changes what you are

We employ the mind to rule, the body to serve.

Without painting, life would be a mistake.

The only way to predict the future is to have power to shape the future.

A painting well done is worth doing.

Painting and writing are solitary arts.

A very small degree of hope is sufficient to cause the birth of love.

Don't forget to love yourself.

Bid me to love, and I will give a loving heart to thee.

The hardest thing is to take less when you can get more.

Love consists in this, that two solitudes protect and touch and greet each other.

Love is metaphysical gravity.

"I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best"

At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.

Love is a tyrant sparing none.

After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is painting.

We can only learn to love by loving.

Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.

To love abundantly is to live abundantly, and to love forever is to live forever.

The way to love anything is to realize that it may be lost.

To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift.

A blind man can make art if what is in his mind can be passed to another mind in some tangible form.

I like not only to be loved, but also to be told I am loved.

Life beats down and crushes the soul and art reminds you that you have one.

Many artists and scholars have pointed out that ultimately art depends on human nature.

I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers.

Art is the only way to run away without leaving home.
