I have tried to present my sensations in what is the most congenial and impressive form possible to me.

My aim in painting has always been the most exact transcription possible of my most intimate impression of nature.

Well, I've always been interested in approaching a big city in a train, and I can't exactly describe the sensations, but they're entirely human and perhaps have nothing to do with aesthetics.

I find linseed oil and white lead the most satisfactory mediums.

More of me comes out when I improvise.

In general it can be said that a nation's art is greatest when it most reflects the character of its people.
