Art is not vague production, transitory and isolated, but a power which must be directed to the improvement and refinement of the human soul.

Colour is a power which directly influences the soul.

There is no must in art because art is free.

Everything starts from a dot.

Color provokes a psychic vibration. Color hides a power still unknown but real, which acts on every part of the human body.

The observer must learn to look at the picture as a graphic representation of a mood and not as a representation of objects.

The artist must train not only his eye but also his soul.

To create a work of art is to create the world.

The spirit, like the body, can be strengthened and developed by frequent exercise. Just as the body, if neglected, grows weaker and finally impotent, so the spirit perishes if untended.

Color is a means to exert a direct influence on the soul.

The artist is the hand that, by touching this or that key, sets the soul vibrating automatically.

I wouldn't want to live if I did not have my work. In any case, it's good that I'm already old and personally don't have to count on a prolonged future.

The great moments of rock 'n' roll were never off in some corner of the music world, in a self-constructed ghetto.

Numbers are the product of counting. Quantities are the product of measurement. This means that numbers can conceivably be accurate because there is a discontinuity between each integer and the next.

I love treason but hate a traitor.

I have a carpool with a corrections officer and a construction worker. My kids get to see that we're not segregated based on wealth or standing. It's very cool.

Whatever. Boris, must you constantly breathe on me?

I smoke 'cos I'm hoping for an early death and I need to cling to something.

Intellect is the soul of man, the only immortal part of him.

It interests me tremendously to make copies... I started it by chance and I find it teaches me things.
