"I suffered two grave accidents in my life... One in which a streetcar knocked me down... The other accident is Diego."

"The day, or the hour, or the minute that I lived would be mine and everyone else's - my madness would not be an escape from 'reality'."

"There is nothing more precious than laughter."

"I am not a surrealist. I have never painted dreams. I have painted my own reality."

"Only one mountain can know the core of another mountain."
