Poetry surrounds us everywhere, but putting it on paper is, alas, not so easy as looking at it.

• The best way to know God is to love many things.
• But I always think that the best way to know God is to love many things.
• What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?
• I experience a period of frightening clarity in those moments when nature is so beautiful. I am no longer sure of myself, and the paintings appear as in a dream.
• I am still far from being what I want to be, but with God's help I shall succeed.
• Painting is a faith, and it imposes the duty to disregard public opinion.
• I am still far from being what I want to be, but with God's help I shall succeed.
• The best way to know God is to love many things.
• But I always think that the best way to know God is to love many things.
• I can very well do without God both in my life and in my painting, but I cannot, suffering as I am, do without something which is greater than I am, which is my life, the power to create.
