The art of painting is entering a new golden age. It is in no danger of becoming obsolete.

Cubism came about because, in the process of analyzing form, something that lay in the form, a plane, could be lifted out to float on its own.

Impressionism came about because it suddenly became apparent that pure colours mix in the eye in a more dazzling way than they have ever been mixed in paint.

All that is happening in art is part of a process of exploration and discovery. I hope to live for a few more years so that I can catch glimpses of the oncoming future.

All paintings start with concept, which is another word for image or imagination. The mistake is to isolate the concept as if the idea did not need to be given permanent form.

I don't want to always be doing the same old thing.

No artist, if he has original talent, can paint like another.

Art is a celebration of life, intended by the artist to put the spectator in touch with the divine.

Sometimes, at a certain point, the painting seems to have painted itself without my help - what I have called the 'eureka' moment when a sudden daring intervention has worked a miracle.

Each painting is a plunge into the unknown.

There is my love... of the young artists of my country who can carry on the dreams and ideals into the future.

No, she wasn't losing language. She was choking on it.

The real winners in life are the people who look at every situation with an expectation that they can make it work ot make it better.

You would say you don't see it: at least I flatter myself I read as much in your eye (beware, by-the-by, what you express with that organ, I am quick at interpreting its language).

I am a generous man, by nature, and far more trusting than I should be. Indeed. The real world is risky territory for people with generosity of spirit. Beware.

I believe conspiracy theories are part of a larger conspiracy to distract us from the real conspiracy. String theory.

Prayer is not so much an act as it is an attitude - an attitude of dependency, dependency upon God.

God doesn't love me any more or less because I had some work done on my face.

I always loved the idea of learning martial arts, but it wasn't until I was in my 20s that I really started doing it and taking up karate.

This accession of territory affirms forever the power of the United States, and I have given England a maritime rival who sooner or later will humble her pride.

I think If I were to look for the most foolish Clinton supporter and ask you to give them equal time nationally, I could find you some pretty nutty people who are for Hillary Clinton.
