Henri Matisse

Impressionism is the newspaper of the soul.

He who loves, flies, runs, and rejoices; he is free and nothing holds him back.

Instinct must be thwarted just as one prunes the branches of a tree so that it will grow better.

The ego is nothing other than the focus of conscious attention.

To me, tattoos are a way of people being able to express themselves and have other people look at them and get a little insight into who they are, without ever even saying a word to them.

Political differences will always generate a healthy debate, but over time the dialogue has become more hateful and at times violent.
