Life itself is not the reality. We are the ones who put life into stones and pebbles.

My photographs are not pure: they are a seething wealth of imperfection.

Ideas and thoughts collide and sort themselves out in these fruitful collisions.

Art is not arbitrary. A fine painting is not there by accident; it is not arrived at by chance. We are sensitive to tonalities.

Let us not tire of preaching love; it is the force that will overcome the world.
