“Singurul sfat pe care eu pot să îl dau cu inima împăcată este: Dormiți! Dormiți, fraților, că somnul n-a făcut rău nimănui! Ești trist? Culcă-te! Ești nervos? Culcă-te! Vrei să mori? Culcă-te, poate ai noroc și mori în somn!”

“To paint is to love again, live again, see again. To get up at the crack of dawn in order to take a peek at the water colors one did the day before, or even a few hours before, is like stealing a look at the beloved while she sleeps. The thrill is even greater if one has first to draw back the curtains. How they glow in the cold light of early dawn! … Is there any writer who rouses himself at daybreak in order to read the pages of his manuscript? Perish the thought!”
