But you can't realize, you can't know what another person goes through.

I owe it all to art books, chocolate and young men.

My life is full of mistakes. They're like pebbles that make a good road.

You can't change the world, you can only change yourself.

I, who wanted danger, adventure, and love

Very few people know how to work. Inspiration, everybody has inspiration. That's just hot air.

Certainly I was relatively a refined person. No way a tramp.

And then, of course, most potters, they go in for earth tones and subdued things, and I like color.

The second time I was there I met Marcel Duchamp, and we immediately fell for each other. Which doesn't mean a thing because I think anybody who met Marcel fell for him.

I happen to believe that there is an afterlife

Over and over I'm on the point of giving it up.

I believe in love at first sight, and I believe that’s what we’ve got going here. I was willing to die for you. I’m sure as hell not going to pass up a chance to live with you.

Life is like the drama on a stage.What was once declared as a sin, perhaps much worse nowadays.

But you will die, Amor

Go on, strike, said the witch, smiling. Fire is beautiful. Nothing bad will happen.

It was the first time that I came face to face with madness and feared it and was fascinated by it.

If you are born an artist, you have no choice but to fight to stay an artist.

The cross-eyed fool sees one lamp as two; The vision and the viewer are one

I bet you, if I had met Trotsky, and had had a chat with him, I would have found him a very interesting and human fellow, for I have never yet met a man I didn't like.

Bad is the trade that must play fool to sorrow, Ang'ring itself and others.
