绘画的行为是一种思考的方式，一种理解世界的方式。

小说是谎言中的真相。

过去的知识留在我们身边，激励我们追求新的更好的事物。

——1963年6月25日在西德市政厅柏林墙前的演说

Life is too short for long-term grudges.

I decided, very early on, just to accept life unconditionally; I never expected it to do anything special for me, yet I seemed to accomplish far more than I had ever hoped. Most of the time it just happened to me without my ever seeking it.

爱是理解和接受对方。如果不能做到这一点，就不能称之为真正的爱。
