All My Works Are Games,

What I Give Form To In Daylight Is Only One Per Cent Of What I Have Seen In Darkness.

At Moments Of Great Enthusiasm It Seems To Me That No One In The World Has Ever Made Something This Beautiful And Important.

So Let Us Then Try To Climb The Mountain, Not By Stepping On What Is Below Us, But To Pull Us Up At What Is Above Us, For My Part At The Stars; Amen.

I Could Fill An Entire Second Life With Working On My Prints.

A Woman Once Rang Me Up And Said, 'mr. Escher, I Am Absolutely Crazy About Your Work. In Your Print -reptiles- You Have Given Such A Striking Illustration Of Reincarnation.' I Replied, 'madam, If That's The Way You See It, So Be It.'
