"The essence of my generation: to be lonely and bored, because we are old and knowledgeable, far too old and far too knowledgeable. Our fears are 50% advertising, tears and joys leave us half empty, love is an escape from ourselves, from loneliness, but loneliness is our fate. We are both excessive, yet narrowly confined like a caveman. We live under the pseudonym 'intellectual freedom'."

"What helps me now is the discovery of what has always been there: sunlight, plants, sound." - the artist in a note from 1957
