"I thought I should make something – I felt it would be so easy – it would take form under my hands like magic. Then people would see!"

"I remained immobile trembling from anguish and I heard bounce through nature an immense infinite scream."

"Through art, I want to show people the terrible and the beautiful in life."

"Man's life is a journey between two graves."

"And I would often wake up at night and stare widely into the room: Am I in Hell?"
