Willem de Kooning - I had my own eyes, but I wasn't always looking...

A quote found at theysaidso.com

I had my own eyes, but I wasn't always looking in the right direction. I was certainly in need of a helping hand at times. Now I feel like Manet who said, Yes, I am influenced by everbody. But every time I put my hands in my pockets I find someone else's fingers there.
