“If you expect a physician to help you, you must lay bare your wound.”

“You cannot lay bare your private soul and look at it. You are too much ashamed of yourself. It is too disgusting. For that reason I confine myself to drawing the portraits of others.”

“And you, you ridiculous people, you expect me to help you.”

“Anyone can do well … It’s all out there waiting for you to take. But first you must reach out and get it. You must work for your riches. You cannot expect it to fall into your lap.”

“You must remember, once more, that expectations are the blocks with which you build your reality. There are no exceptions to this rule.”

“Don’t allow your wounds to transform you into someone you are not.”

“… you have to learn where your pain is. You have to burrow down and find the wound, and if the burden of it is too terrible to shoulder, you have to shout it out; you have to shout for help… And then finally, the way through grief is grieving.”

“You wound and you will wound again. Because you wound and then you go away. You do not stay with the wound.”

“You can't expect to rule anyone with the memorised laws inside your head, but you must adapt your attitude according to the time in which you are currently living in.”

“Your entire heart has been scarred through the years; seek the healer who heightens the senses and helps you feel alive. There, you will find the medicine to mend the wounds and restore life.”
