“To suffer without complaint is the only lesson we have to learn in this life”
“It's better to have a gay life of it than to commit suicide.”
“The only time I feel alive is when I'm painting.”
“The victory one would gain after a whole life of work and effort is better than one that is gained sooner.”
“...and then, I have nature and art and poetry, and if that is not enough, what is enough?”
“I put my heart and soul into my work, and I have lost my mind in the process.”
“I dream my painting and I paint my dream.”
