The essence of government is control, or the attempt to control.

To force a man to pay for the violation of his own liberty is indeed an addition of insult to injury.

Capitalism is at least tolerable, which cannot be said of Socialism or Communism.

But this is not to say that the society which inflicts capital punishment commits murder.

Commanded love of all men indiscriminately is an obliteration of distinction between love and hate, and therefore is not love at all.

The right of such control is already admitted by the State Socialists, though they maintain that, as a matter of fact, the individual would be allowed a much larger liberty than he now enjoys.

Be careful that you do not write or paint anything that is not your own, that you don't know in your own soul.

Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do.

Only through art can we emerge from ourselves and know what another person sees.

I never know what I'm going to put on the canvas. The canvas paints itself. I'm just the middleman.

If you know somethin' well, you can always paint it but people would be better off buyin' chickens.

When I have a camera in my hand, I know no fear.
