What the painter adds to the canvas are the days of his life. The adventure of living, hurtling toward death Picture Quote #1

My thought is me: that is why I cannot stop thinking. I exist because I think I cannot keep from thinking Picture Quote #1

I say a murder is abstract. You pull the trigger and after that you do not understand anything that happens Picture Quote #1

I am not virtuous. Our sons will be if we shed enough blood to give them the right to be Picture Quote #1

Generosity is nothing else than a craze to possess. All which I abandon, all which I give, I enjoy in a higher manner through the fact that I give it away. To give is to enjoy possessively the object which one gives Picture Quote #1

The sun is not ridiculous, quite the contrary. On everything I like, on the rust of the construction girders, on the rotten boards of the fence, a miserly, uncertain light falls, like the look you give, after a sleepless night, on decisions made with enthusiasm the day before, on pages you have written in one spurt without crossing out a word Picture Quote #1
