Art must be born from the material and spirituality must borrow the language of the material.

If it is the feathers that make the plumage, it is not the glue that makes the glue.

The art is to hide the art.

Scribbling, scratching, acting on the canvas, and painting seem to me to be human activities that are as immediate, spontaneous and simple as the singing, dancing or playing of an animal, which runs, mews or snorts.

The superior man is one who remains always faithful to hope; not persevere is a coward.

The sign signifies, while the form signifies itself.

So many hands to transform this world, and so few eyes to contemplate it.

Form is the happiness of matter.

The work of art has a mystical mission to redeem reality.

Art is still the only bearable form of life: the greatest enjoyment, and the one that wears out the least quickly.
