It is this ecstasy which gives to the eye, to the brain and to the heart, the quality of innocency. Without seeing life as something totally new, it is a routine, a boredom, a meaningless affair.

"The eye doesn't see any shapes, it sees only what is differentiated through light and dark or through colors."
"There is nothing outside of us that is not at the same time in us, and as the external world has its colors the eye, too, has colors."
"Every decided colour does a certain violence to the eye, and forces the organ to opposition."
