A wife of your own stature is the greatest of all blessings.

If one considered life as a simple loan, one would perhaps be less exacting. We possess actually nothing; everything goes through us.

Everyone knows that yellow, orange, and red suggest ideas of joy and plenty. I can paint you the skin of Venus with mud, provided you let me surround it as I will.

A picture is nothing but a bridge between the soul of the artist and that of the spectator.

The artist who aims at perfection in everything achieves it in nothing.

We work not only to produce, but to give value to time.

Talent does whatever it wants to do. Genius does only what it can.

One never paints violently enough.

Seeing artistically does not happen automatically. We must constantly develop our powers of observation.

A fine suggestion, a sketch with great feeling, can be as expressive as the most finished product.

What moves those of genius, what inspires their work is not new ideas, but their obsession with the idea that what has already been said is still not enough.

Just live well. Just live

Once people get into relationships, friends and rational thought get tossed aside.

Dust off that Bible. It has the answers you are looking for, and its delights await you.

Everything holds its breath except spring. She bursts through as strong as ever.

I love getting on the subway because you get on the car, and you see the entire human race represented in any given subway car.

Some changes are so slow, you don't notice them, others are so fast, they don't notice you.

In my opinion, there's this new phenomenon where guys used to talk about cars a lot in the past. But, more and more it's becoming them talking about recording studios.

With competition everyone has to try harder.

There should be many judges, for few will always do the will of few.

I'm always up for going back to the stage.
