"People's fantasies are what give them problems. If you didn't have fantasies you wouldn't have problems because you'd just take whatever was there."

When a painter thinks to disengage from the world outside himself and fantasies unprecedented forms he thinks he will make a painting, he finds in this expression the same effect - I would even say the same picture - that he had unconsciously acquired by his habit to experience reality intensely.

— Pierre Alechinsky
