I've tried doing so, for it was never my intention to paint only with gray. But in the course of my work I have eliminated one color after another, and what has remained is gray, gray, gray!

The object of art is not to reproduce reality, but to create a reality of the same intensity.

I've been fifty thousand times to the Louvre. I have copied everything in drawing, trying to understand.

In a burning building I would save a cat before a Rembrandt.

When I make my drawings... the path traced by my pencil on the sheet of paper is, to some extent, analogous to the gesture of a man groping his way in the darkness.

That's the terrible thing: the more one works on a picture, the more impossible it becomes to finish it.

It is impossible to do a thing the way I see it because the closer I get the more differently I see.

Failure is my best friend. If I succeeded, it would be like dying. Maybe worse.

Artistically I am still a child with a whole life ahead of me to discover and create. I want something, but I won't know what it is until I succeed in doing it.

The form is always the measure of the obsession.

Going one step further, imagine if you could influence your subconscious mind to send out the right vibes to your conscious mind! That is what you are doing with NAPS.

So please, for the love of gender- go bloom. Or water someone else while they do.

Life is not meaningful...unle ss it is serving an end beyond itself; unless it is of value to someone else.

When to mischief mortals bend their will, how soon they find it instruments of ill.

If you want to uncover problems you don't know about, take a few moments and look closely at the areas you haven't examined for a while. I guarantee you problems will be there.

I'm not really one for fancy, big words and poetry, and the scriptwriters worked very hard on 'Paradise Lost' to translate it.

Chess is, above all, a fight.

We have fewer troops in Afghanistan than we had law enforcement [officers] at the Olympics in Salt Lake City.

Hopefully someone on their team addresses it, because, uh, I'm not saying I'm going to do it, but something might happen to him if he continues to be that cocky.

I do make a conscious effort to bring energy every day. Have fun, keep stuff light, all of that stuff.
