I believe that the future of humanity is in the progress of reason through science. I believe that the pursuit of truth, through science, is the divine ideal which man should propose to himself.

I believe that all is illusion and vanity outside the treasure of truths slowly accumulated, and which will never again be lost. I believe that the sum of these truths, always increasing, will at last confer on man incalculable power and peace, if not happiness. Yes, I believe in the final triumph of life.

I believe that I have always told the truth.

I believe that I have such a vanilla life.

I believe in blues, and I believe that it's been misrepresented.

I believe that painting should come through the avenues of meditation rather than the canals of action.
