If everything ends with death, whether after it something else? Perhaps, for the artist to part with life is not the most difficult? I, of course, all of this is not known, but whenever I see the stars, I'm starting to dream as involuntarily as I'm dreaming, looking at the black dots, which on the map indicates cities and villages.

A person need only continue to love what is worthy of love, and not to waste his sense on the items is insignificant, unworthy and insignificant, and he will become stronger and penetrating.

It is better to speak less, but to select those words that have a lot of meaning than to give a long but empty speech, which is as useless as it is easily pronounced.

It would be much more useful not to make grandiose exhibitions, and to contact people and to work in the name, to every house hung paintings or reproductions.
