"For me, life may well continue in solitude. I have never perceived those to whom I have been most attached other than as through a glass, darkly."

"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."

"I am a seeker, I am a wanderer, I am a dreamer."

"The sadness will last forever."
