I don't stand for the black man's side, I don' t stand for the white man's side. I stand for God's side.

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

Armed with a paint-box, one cannot be bored, one cannot be left at a loose end, one cannot 'have several days on one's hands.

Every garden presents innumerable fascinating problems.

Without tradition, art is a flock of sheep without a shepherd. Without innovation, it is a corpse.
