'From the age of six, I could draw forms and objects.
By 50 I had turned out an infinite number of drawings.
But I am not happy about anything I did before 70.
Only at 73 did I begin to understand the true form
and nature of birds, fish and plants. By 80 I had made
a lot of progress. At 90 I will begin to get to the root
of it all. By 100 I will have reached a Superior State
in art, undefinable, and by 110, every dot and line will
be living. I challenge those who live as long as me
to see if I keep my word.'
