Art is either a plagiarist or a revolutionist.
Paul Gauguin
The critics can say stupid things and we can enjoy them, if we have the legitimate feeling of superiority - the satisfaction of a duty accomplished.

Seek art and abstraction in nature by dreaming in the presence of it.
Paul Gauguin
Silence! I am learning to know the silence of a Tahitian night.
Paul Gauguin
Life is hardly more than a fraction of a second. Such a little time to prepare oneself for eternity!
Paul Gauguin
