Man is not on the earth solely for his own happiness. He is there to realize great things for humanity.
The world concerns me only in so far as I feel a certain indebtedness and duty toward it because I have walked this earth for thirty years, and, out of gratitude, want to leave some souvenir in the shape of drawings or pictures — not made to please a certain taste in art, but to express a sincere human feeling.
I believe more and more that God must not be judged on this earth. It is one of His sketches that has turned out badly.
