We are never as unhappy as we think, or as happy as we had hoped.

Le Rochefoucauld - Maxims I: 59

Seeds...

It is often the case that the seeds of our greatest achievements are sown (unbeknown to us) during our deepest troubles or personal disasters. One of the sources in art is pain but it is pleasure that keeps one working day in, day out...

Primary images...

Les moyens limités font souvent le charme et la force des peintures primaires. Au contraire l’extension amène les arts de décadence. 

 
The limits set by the medium are frequently the source of fascination and power of the primary images. In contrast, extending them results in decadence. 

George Braque - Pensées et Réflexions sur la peinture
