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

Count your age by friends, not years.

Civilization is in a race between education and catastrophe.

Hatred never ceases by hatred in this world; by love alone do hatreds cease.

You are the author of your own story. Write a narrative that inspires and uplifts others.

The more things a man is ashamed of, the more respectable he is.

Read yourself, not books. Truth isn't outside.
