“ I love the visible as well as the invisible world. I love Man, I love Life. And this love flows out into expression, as water from a down turned pitcher…In this process, the sorrows of other people become my own, and the joys of the external enter into my inner existence. Whenever I sit down to write, my thoughts silently intertwine with this country where every particle of dust shows love for me, where Nature includes my personality, and the same blood as mine runs in the veins of Man, no matter how far off he lives. This relationship brings intensity of union and the pleasure it gives is not to be found elsewhere. In the darkness of my environment I keep this lamp of love alight and creations come of this union. I do not know of course, what value the critical world may give to these works!”
