"To painting is to embrace reality, but not to be reality. Or to paint is to form a vessel for what you want, the content is what surrounds the vessel.It will come by itself when it has found its form. The content is what the painter saves, what the draftsman weaves between the threads of his lines, for there is no nothing. Absolute nothingness is God. Everything else is sensual and overcrows the earth with its creepers, and we long for nothingness. But if we have the emptiness before us, then the fear comes, and the fear is far too much to be nothing. Where are you when you sleep? When you sleep, you are at nothing. To be neutral enough, God must be nothingness. You will endure the times, the worlds, the thoughts, for you are the nothing, the gold foundation before which the worlds stand, and everything will fall from heaven, even heaven itself, but you will stay. Nothing is the place where something becomes something." (Heimrad Prem, 1963)
