• Nadie es imprescindible para nadie. Te imaginas que eres necesaria para él o que se pondrá muy triste si le dejas, pero seguro que si lo haces, en tres meses habrá encajado otra cara en tu papel y verás que nadie sufre por tu ausencia. Debes sentirte libre para hacer lo que te parezca mejor. Ser la enfermera de alguien no es forma de vivir si no eres capaz de hacer otra cosa. Tienes que decir algo por ti mismo y debes pensar, ante todo, en eso.

• We mustn't be afraid of inventing anything...Everething there is in us exists in nature. After all, we're part of nature. If it resembles nature, that's fine. If it doesn't, what of it? When man wanted to invent something as useful as the human foot, he invented the wheel, which he used to transport himself and his burdens. The fact that the wheel doesn't have the slightest resemblance to the human foot is hardly a criticism of it.

• You see, for me a painting is a dramatic action in the course of which the reality finds itself split apart. For me, that dramatic action takes precedence over all other considerations. The pure plastic act is only secondary as far as I'm concerned. What counts is the drama of that plastic art, the moment at which the universe comes out of itself and meets its own destruction.
