If only someone else could paint what I see, it would be marvellous, because then I wouldn't have to paint at all.

There is no such thing as good painting about nothing.

The painter should not paint what he sees, but what will be seen.

If I paint something, I don't want to have to explain what it is.

I hate painting.

I'm not just painting for painting's sake. I want to be truthful.

If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.

If it weren't for painting, I wouldn't live; I couldn't bear the extra strain of things.

No one can be a painter unless he cares for painting above all else.

I don't paint to live, I live to paint.
