" For the artist, variety is the manifestation of unity and,
vice versa, any single thing is the expression of all things.
The multiplicity of the world manifests as one - this is a live action of the marvel of world energy."

"The images arise involuntarily, by themselves.
Everything that manifests spontaneously in this state of unity reflects the unique instant.
All defects and imprecision are merely signs of the moment."

"The artist's work is only the visual symbol of the world.
The artist spontaneously creates the universe. He manifests it."

"The signs of the live energy movement, the internal proportion of this energy,
its flowing out and its manifestations become the artist's works."
