A woman may not hit a ball stronger than a man, but it is different. I prize that difference.

True strength is delicate.

I think most artists create out of despair. The very nature of creation is not a performing glory on the outside, it's a painful, difficult search within.

When you put things together, things that other people have thrown out, you’re really bringing them to life – a spiritual life that surpasses the life for which they were originally created.

No matter how individual we humans are, we are a composite of everything we are aware of. We are a mirror of our times.

I always wanted to show the world that art is everywhere, except it has to pass through a creative mind.

Most of us have to be transplanted before we blossom.

You take a painting, you have a white, virginal piece of canvas that is the world of purity, and then you put your imagery on it, and you try to bring it back to the original purity.

It gave me great pleasure to think that I could take wood, make it good, and make people like Rockefeller buy it with paper money.

I make collages. I join the shattered world creating a new harmony.

I think all great innovations are built on rejections.

Something did happen to me somewhere that robbed me of confidence and courage and left me with a fear of discovery and change and a positive dread of everything unknown that may occur.

Finding the one who loves you is like lottery but you don't have to close up the page, just keep on searching and you'll find.

Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.

Il y a dans les hommes plus de choses a' admirer que de choses a' me priser. There are more things to admire in people than to despise.

For Beatrice, our love broke my heart, and stopped yours.

Only individuals have a sense of responsibility.

We may not be responsible for the world that created our minds, but we can take responsibility for the mind with which we create our world.

We must read our Bibles like men digging for hidden treasure.

If you want to be unhappy, uncomfortable, and insecure, just spend your life trying to do something that is not right for you. It is just like trying to wear shoes that don't fit.

No one wants to take from me what I give abundantly.
