Sun-bleached bones were most wonderful against the blue - that blue that will always be there as it is now after all man's destruction is finished.

I know now that most people are so closely concerned with themselves that they are not aware of their own individuality, I can see myself, and it has helped me to say what I want to say in paint.

When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else. Most people in the city rush around so, they have no time to look at a flower. I want them to see it whether they want to or not.

Nobody sees a flower really; it is so small. We haven't time, and to see takes time - like to have a friend takes time.

I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for.

I've been absolutely terrified every moment of my life - and I've never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do.
