If an artist has no experience before he makes a painting or a sculpture, he is not an artist.

The image my work invokes is the image of good - not evil; the image of order - not chaos; the image of life - not death. And that is all the content of my constructions amounts to.

The shapes we are creating are not abstract, they are absolute. They are released from any already existant thing in nature and their content lies in themselves.

The Force of Art lies in its immediate influence on human psychology and in its active contagiousness.

The way of a creative mind is always positive, it always asserts; it does not know the doubts which are so characteristic of the scientific mind.

What we cannot express by the art of thinking, by the art of science or philosophy or logic, we can and should express by the poetic, visual, or some other arts.

We affirm depth as the only pictorial and plastic form of space.

Art has no need of philosophical arguments, it does not follow the signposts of philosophical systems; Art like life, dictates systems to philosophy.

How much did you get for your soul?

The physician is only nature's assistant.

Do not learn how to react. Learn how to respond.

Freedom, where are you? Who holds you back? [...] The mother of wit and pleasure, Oh freedom!
