"I'm struggling, I'm fighting, I'm working like a madman, but I'm not getting anywhere."

"Colors pursue me like a constant worry. They even worry me in my sleep."

"I'm so tired of these endless struggles. I just want some peace."

"Everyone discusses my art and pretends to understand, as if it were necessary to understand, when it is simply necessary to love."

"Everything I have earned has gone into these gardens."
