I am always doing that which I cannot do$$$ in order that I may learn how to do it.

Anything new$$$ anything worth doing$$$ can't be recognized.

When art critics get together they talk about Form and Structure and Meaning. When artists get together they talk about where you can buy cheap turpentine.

It took me four years to paint like Raphael$$$ but a lifetime to paint like a child.

The world doesn't make sense$$$ so why should I paint pictures that do?

Everything you can imagine is real.

Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn't mean politics won't take an interest in you.

He that will not stoop for a pin will never be worth a pound.

No pain$$$ no palm; no thorns$$$ no throne; no gall$$$ no glory; no cross$$$ no crown.

A good end cannot sanctify evil means; nor must we ever do evil that good may come of it.
