Translation

(French, German)

Je ne peindrai plus d'intérieurs et les gens en train de lire, et les femmes à leur tricot. Je peindrai des êtres qui respirent, sentent, souffrent et aiment.

Es sollen nicht mehr Interieurs mit lesenden Männer und strickenden Frauen gemalt werden. Es müssen lebende Menschen sein, die atmen, fühlen, leiden und lieben.

Edvard Munch

I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers.

Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter.

Oscar Wilde - The Picture of Dorian Gray

It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look, which morally we can do. To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts.

We do not suffer from things to which we are accustomed.

Niccolo Machiavelli - The Art of War

To tolerate is to take upon oneself; a tolerance that comes into being on the backs of others is no longer tolerance. To tolerate the suffering of others, to tolerate an injustice of which we are not a victim or an atrocity that we are spared is not tolerance but selfishness, indifference, or worse.
