I am working here (in Amsterdam) on my last big triptych, which will be a tremendous story, and which gives me a more intense life and exhilaration. My God, life is worth living!

I am seeking for the bridge which leans from the visible to the invisible through reality.

Art is creative for the sake of realization, not for amusement... for transfiguration, not for the sake of play.

Painting constantly appeared to me as the one and only possible achievement.

Take Charge Of Your Financial Future. I believe investing small amounts each month in the stock market will give you financial freedom in the later years of your life.

Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.

It seems that laughter needs an echo.

Even if there is intelligent life somewhere, which perhaps there is, I'm agnostic about it, I don't know.

Maybe if I didn't pick up that one person, I wouldn't have picked up forty-two thousand.
