Colour is a power which directly influences the soul.

There is no must in art because art is free.

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.

In time, the church will actually be organized more as a military force with an army, navy, air force, etc.

Writing a novel is like knocking on a door that will never open. You are so desperate to get in, you will say or do anything. You feel: please take my novel.
