When I have a terrible need of - shall I say the word - religion. Then I go out and paint the stars.
I can very well do without God both in my life and in my painting, but I cannot, suffering as I am, do without something which is greater than I am, which is my life, the power to create.
The more I think about it, the more I realize there is nothing more artistic than to love others.
It is not the language of painters but the language of nature which one should listen to, the feeling for the things themselves, for reality is more important than the feeling for pictures.
