I am never going to have anything more to do with politics or politicians. When this war is over, I shall confine myself entirely to writing and painting.

Painting is complete as a distraction. I know of nothing which, without exhausting the body more entirely absorbs the mind.

This beginning with Audacity, or being thrown into the middle of it, is already a very great part of the art of painting.

Painting is the same kind of problem as unfolding a long, sustained interlocked argument... It is a proposition commanded by a single unity of conception.

Painting is a companion with whom one may walk a great part of life's journey.

Leave to the masters of art trained by a lifetime of devotion the wonderful process of picture-building and picture creation. Go out into the sunlight and be happy with what you see.
