In the beginning you must subject yourself to the influence of nature In the beginning you must subject yourself to the influence of nature. You must be able to walk firmly on the ground before you start walking of a tightrope.

There is nothing more difficult for a truly creative painter than to paint a rose, because before he can do so he has first to forget all the roses that were ever painted.

I don't paint things. I only paint the difference between things.

Derive happiness in oneself from a good day's work, from illuminating the fog that surrounds us.

I have always tried to hide my efforts and wished my works to have a light joyousness of springtime which never lets anyone suspect the labors it has cost me.
