"When you go out to paint, try to forget what objects you have before you, a tree, a house, a field or whatever."

"I am tied to this garden and I will paint in it for the rest of my life."

"I'm absolutely furious. I want to break something."

"My life has been nothing but a failure, and all that's left for me to do is to destroy my paintings before I disappear."

"What I like most of all in London is the fog."
