More quotes by M. C. Escher

M. C. Escher
I am always wandering around in enigmas. There are young people who constantly come to tell me: you, too, are making Op Art. I haven't the slightest idea what that is, Op Art. I've been doing this work for thirty years now.
M. C. Escher

Hands, are the most honest part of the human body, they cannot lie as laughing eyes and the mouth can.
M. C. Escher
As far as I know, there is no proof whatever of the existence of an objective reality apart from our senses, and I do not see why we should accept the outside world as such solely by virtue of our senses.
M. C. Escher
Only those who attempt the absurd will achieve the impossible. I think it's in my basement... let me go upstairs and check.
M. C. Escher
Originality is merely an illusion.
M. C. Escher
I don't use drugs, my dreams are frightening enough.
M. C. Escher
Simplicity and order are, if not the principal, then certainly the most important guidelines for human beings in general.
M. C. Escher
Wonder is the salt of the earth.
M. C. Escher
I don't grow up. In me is the small child of my early days.
M. C. Escher
A woman once rang me up and said, 'Mr. Escher, I am absolutely crazy about your work. In your print -Reptiles- you have given such a striking illustration of reincarnation.' I replied, 'Madam, if that's the way you see it, so be it.'
M. C. Escher
