“Unhappiness. There are all kinds of unhappy people in the world. I suppose it would be no exaggeration to say that the world is composed entirely of unhappy people. But those people can fight their unhappiness with society fairly and squarly, and society for its part easily understands and sympathizes with such struggles. My unhappiness stemmed entirely from my own vices, and I had no way of fighting anybody.”

“Sin embargo, de todos los conglomerados detesto particularmente el de los pintores. En parte, naturalmente, porque es el que más conozco y ya se sabe que uno puede detestar con mayor razón lo que se conoce a fondo. Pero tengo otra razón: LOS CRÍTICOS. Es una plaga que nunca pude entender. Si yo fuera un gran cirujano y un señor que jamás ha manejado un bisturí, ni es médico ni ha entablillado la pata de un gato, viniera a explicarme los errores de mi operación, ¿qué se pensaría?. Lo mismo pasa con la pintura. Lo singular es que la gente no advierte que es lo mismo y aunque se ría de las pretensiones del crítico de cirugía, escucha con un increíble respeto a esos charlatanes.”
