“I must have flowers, always, and always.”
“Color is my daylong obsession, joy, and torment.”
“Every day I discover
more and more
beautiful things.
It’s enough to drive one mad.
I have such a desire
to do everything,
my head is bursting with it.”
“My garden is my most beautiful masterpiece”
“the more I live, the more I regret how little I know”
“It’s on the strength of observation and reflection that one finds a way. So we must dig and delve unceasingly.”
“What keeps my heart awake is colorful silence.”
“I can only draw what I see.”
“I don’t think I’m made for any earthly kind of pleasure.”
“No one but myself knows the anxiety I go through and the trouble I give myself…”
“I get madder and madder on giving back what I feel.”
