"In the poorest little house, in the filthiest corner, I see paintings or drawings. And my mind turns in that direction as if with an irresistible urge."

"I wish they would take me for what I am."

"I am more and more convinced that one must not judge God by this world."

"I do not know myself how I paint it. I sit down with a white board before the spot that strikes me. I look at what is before my eyes, and say to myself, that white board must become something."

"I am not myself, I am my environment."
