My choice of colors does not rest on any scientific theory; it is based on observation, on feeling, on the experience of my sensibility. inspired by certain pages of delacroix, an artist like signac is preoccupied with complementary colors, and the theoretical knowledge of them will lead him to use a certain tone in a certain place. but i simply try to put down colors which render my sensation.

Well, it [evolution] is a theory, it is a scientific theory only, and it has in recent years been challenged in the world of science and is not yet believed in the scientific community to be as infallible as it once was believed. but if it was going to be taught in the schools, then i think that also the biblical theory of creation, which is not a theory but the biblical story of creation, should also be taught.
