A painting that is well composed is half finished.

Draw your pleasure, paint your pleasure, and express your pleasure strongly.

I am just beginning to understand what it is to paint. A painter should have two lives, one in which to learn, and one in which to practice his art.

You cannot possibly invent painting all by yourself.

The precision of naming takes away from the uniqueness of seeing.

Drawing is feeling. Color is an act of reason.

Painting has to get back to its original goal, examining the inner lives of human beings.

What I am after is the first impression - I want to show all one sees on first entering the room - what my eye takes in at first glance.

It's not a matter of painting life, it's a matter of giving life to painting.

You reason colour more than you reason drawing Colour has a logic as severe as form.

Color does not add a pleasant quality to design - it reinforces it.

A bloody sword is a beautiful thing.

I was thrown out of college for cheating on the metaphysics exam I looked into the soul of the boy next to me.

Watch my sword, not my face!'he said. 'I'm going to stab you, not bite you!

Every time that a people which has long crouched in slavery and ignorance is moved to its lowest depths there appear monsters and heroes, prodigies of crime and prodigies of virtue.

If you've never wept and want to, have a child.

I came from this very traditional background and I benefited hugely from feminism. I felt privileged going to university and doing a PhD. Most people of my background don't get to do that.

I adore life but I dont fear death. I just prefer to die as late as possible.

'Friends' will always remain friends.

My girlfriends and I just started doing plyometrics. It's a killer - it hurts so much. But when you walk out of there, you're like, 'I can't believe I just did that and my body looks this good.

If you're willing to tell somebody that you love them, are you also willing to say you're sorry? You need to, even when you think you're in the right.
