I don't know anything with certainty, but seeing the stars makes me dream.

I dream of painting and then I paint my dream.

If I were to think of and dwell on disastrous possibilities, I could do nothing. I throw myself headlong into my work, and come up again with my studies; if the storm within gets too loud, I take a glass too much to stun myself.

It is better to be high-spirited even though one makes more mistakes, than to be narrow-minded and all too prudent.

I feel that there is nothing more truly artistic than to love people.
