Color in a picture is like enthusiasm in life.

What a simple thing death is, just as simple as the falling of an autumn leaf.

If one is a master of one thing and understands one thing well, one has at the same time insight into and understanding of many things.

...such distortions, such aberrations, deformations, alterations of reality that, if you will, they must end up as lies-but as lies that have more truth in them than literal truth.

I use color in a completely arbitrary way in order to express myself powerfully.

There are colors which cause each other to shine brilliantly, which form a couple, which complete each other like man and woman.

The best way to know God is to love many things.

I have walked this earth for 30 years, and, out of gratitude, want to leave some souvenir.

... life is too short to do the whole.
