If there is no God, everything is permitted.

God is the great mysterious motivator of what we call nature, and it has often been said by philosophers, that nature is the will of God. And I prefer to say that nature is the only body of God that we shall ever see.

God is everywhere but He is most manifest in man. So serve man as God. That is as good as worshipping God.

To surrender to ignorance and call it God has always been premature, and it remains premature today.

I can very well do without God both in my life and in my painting, but I cannot, suffering as I am, do without something which is greater than I am, which is my life, the power to create.
