"A man sets out to draw the world. As the years go by, he peoples a space with images of provinces, kingdoms, mountains, bays, ships, islands, fishes, rooms, instruments, stars, horses, and individuals…"

"I have always been fascinated by mirrors, because they are a kind of portal to another world."

"My greatest fear is not death, but oblivion."

"Don't talk unless you can improve the silence."

"I have always been a shy man, and I have always been afraid of women."
