A so-called happy marriage corresponds to love as a correct poem to an improvised song.

When the heart flies out before the understanding, it saves the judgment a world of pains.

All good criticism should be judged the way art is. You shouldn't read it the way you read history or science.

To be trusted is a greater compliment than being loved.

I learn something every time I go into the mountains.

Please all, and you will please none.

To love is to admire with the heart; to admire is to love with the mind

Love is like sweet nectarine, good to the last drop.

Every good painter paints what she is.

An effort made for the happiness of others lifts above ourselves.

Art is pattern informed by sensibility.

The painting itself doesn't interest me. I want only to capture a minute part of reality.

If you don't like where you live, then move. You are not a tree!

I hate flowers - I paint them because they're cheaper than models and they don't move.

A tree is an incomprehensible mystery

Art depends on luck and talent.

Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.

"Light is visible time and its presence in a painting adds a further dimension, a sense of suspended time."

The praise that comes from love does not make us vain, but more humble.

Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action.

One must always paint, paint with the eyes, when one cannot paint with a brush.

A man in love is incomplete until he has married. Then he's finished.

The true painter strives to paint what can only be seen through her world.

Painting is no ordinary object. Painting is a carrier of meaning, of human touch. Each brush stroke or smear of pigment is freighted with philosophical inquiry.

What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.

There are no rules for good paintings, there are only good paintings.

He who angers you conquers you

The one thing we can never get enough of is love. And the one thing we never give enough is love.

It's a moment that I'm after, a fleeting moment, but not a frozen moment.

Life is too important to be taken seriously.

Though lovers be lost love shall not.

Always keep an open mind and a compassionate heart.

Love is the magician that pulls man out of his own hat.
