“Jean Cocteau--my artist friend since our early days--let himself be guided throughout his full life by the principle:"I love to love.I hate hatred."With all my heart I agree with that, and I have never lost faith in the good. This is a source of strength for my work.Once Cocteau said to me: "Your work contains the fire of the image of man--like the Phoenix . . . "I believe in this light. It will not be extinguished.”
“The images of man which I create are not idealized. They embody ideals and characteristics which are worthy for all men: human dignity, peace, respect, friendship, tolerance, and freedom.”
“You see, for me [art]'s not one of life's ornaments, rococo relaxation to be greeted affably after a day of hard work; I'm inverted on this : for me it's my very breath, the one thing necessary, and all else is excretion and a latrine.”
“A decent human being is ashamed at being somebody's boss!”
“DIE KARTOFFELSORTIERMASCHINE rüttelte im Bogen=Lampen=Licht: Nichts Niemand Nirgends Nie! / Umdient von 4 Lemuren in fahler Tracht: die Schatten flohen manchmal entsetzt vor ihren eigenen Herren davon. (Zaunzu hülfesuchend? – Bei uns iss ooch keene.)”
