If Isolation Tempers The Strong,

When A Picture Isn't Realized, You Pitch It In The Fire And Start Another One!

I'd Like To Combine Melancholy And Sunshine... There's A Sadness In Provence Which No One Has Expressed... I'd Like To Put Reason In The Grass And Tears In The Sky, Like Poussin.

For An Impressionist To Paint From Nature Is Not To Paint The Subject, But To Realize Sensations.

I Must Be More Sensible And Realize That At My Age, Illusions Are Hardly Permitted And They Will Always Destroy Me.

I Owe You The Truth In Painting, And I Will Tell It To You.
