The Great Artist Is The Simplifier.

Often Whole Days Pass Without My Speaking To Anyone.

Whatever Plan One Makes, There Is A Hidden Difficulty Somewhere.

But For One's Health As You Say, It Is Very Necessary To Work In The Garden And See The Flowers Growing.

The World Concerns Me Only In So Far As I Feel A Certain Indebtedness And Duty Toward It Because I Have Walked This Earth For Thirty Years, And, Out Of Gratitude, Want To Leave Some Souvenir In The Shape Of Drawings Or Pictures — Not Made To Please A Certain Taste In Art, But To Express A Sincere Human Feeling.

The Lamps Are Burning And The Starry Sky Is Over It All.
