Man's spirit grows hungry for art in the same way his stomach growls for food...

Sometimes men are generous and forgiving, sometimes angry and blind.

Do not call yourself old. A man is as old as the creative force within him.

There is no thrill of mortal danger to surpass that of a lone man trying to create something that never existed before.

Listen, my friend, all forms that exist in God's universe can be found in the human figure. A man's body and face can tell everything he represents. So how could I ever exhaust my interest in it?

A man who has not suffered has nothing to tell with his paintings.

Who wants to do good in this world must deny oneself. A man does not live on this Earth to be happy or to be honest only - he has to do great things for humanity, achieve the generosity of the spirit and rise above the banality where most of the people are drowning and wasting their days.
