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

Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself.

Truth, and goodness, and beauty are but different faces of the same all.

I begin to speak only when I’m certain what I’ll say isn’t better left unsaid

One's life has value so long as one attributes value to the life of others.

Excellence is not a gift but a skill that takes practice.

The past is just a story we tell ourselves.
