A good painting to me has always been like a friend. It keeps me company, comforts and inspires.

The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page.

“Inspiration exists, but it has to find us working.”

The trick is to be grateful when your luck is good, and when it's bad, to believe that it will get better.

There are no incurable diseases — only the lack of will.

Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.

Joy does not simply happen to us. We have to choose joy and keep choosing it every day.
