"I hear the scream of nature."

"Disease, insanity, and death were the angels that attended my cradle, and since then have followed me throughout my life."

"What I am seeking is not the real and not the unreal but rather the unconscious, the mystery of the instinctive in the human race."

"I believe in the art that heals."

"Death is pitch-dark, but colors are light. To be a painter, one must work with rays of light."
