It is not the language of painters but the language of nature which one should listen to …

I dream of painting and then I paint my dream.

What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?

Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.

One may have a blazing hearth in one ' s soul and yet no one ever come to sit by it.
