"My life is my book, but I can't read it."

"The way to read a fairy tale is to throw yourself in."

"Some of these things are true and some of them lies. But they are all good stories."

"I have a horror of people who speak about the beautiful. What is the beautiful? One must speak of problems in painting!"

"We artists are indestructible; even in a prison, or in a concentration camp, I would be almighty in my own world of art, even if I had to paint my pictures with my wet tongue on the dusty floor of my cell."

"God is really only another artist. He invented the giraffe, the elephantand the cat. He has no real style, He just goes on trying other things."

"Art is not the application of a canon of beauty but what the instinct and the brain can conceive beyond any canon. When we love a woman we don't start measuring her limbs."
