Maybe$$$ he said hesitantly$$$ "maybe there is a beast." [...] "What I mean is$$$ maybe it's only us."

I am fated to journey hand in hand with my strange heroes and to survey the surging immensity of life$$$ to survey it through the laughter that all can see and through the tears unseen and unknown by anyone.

The longer and more carefully we look at a funny story$$$ the sadder it becomes.

Do not quench your inspiration and your imagination; do not become the slave of your model.

Which is better--to have laws and agree$$$ or to hunt and kill?

I can't change the fact that my paintings don't sell. But the time will come when people will recognize that they are worth more than the value of the paints used in the picture.

Man is such a wondrous being that it is never possible to count up all his merits at once. The more you study him$$$ the more new particulars appear$$$ and their description would be endless.

Exaggerate the essential$$$ leave the obvious vague.

It is with the reading of books the same as with looking at pictures; one must$$$ without doubt$$$ without hesitations$$$ with assurance$$$ admire what is beautiful.

I experience a period of frightening clarity in those moments when nature is so beautiful. I am no longer sure of myself$$$ and the paintings appear as in a dream.
