Hundertwasser's comment on the work

I tried my hand at farming. I could milk a pail of milk from my cow and make cheese, too. But when the calf on a tether, which I didn't want to let go of, threw me down a slope, I had to go to hospital with a fractured shoulder. Back home from the hospital, I slipped off an embankment and rolled over in my car, just like in a stunt film, and had to go back to Kawakawa Hospital with broken ribs. The subsequent acupuncture in Bangkok, en route to Europe, was no help at all. The unpleasant pain from the needles did not remove the pain of the bone fractures. (from: Hundertwasser 1928-2000, Catalogue Raisonné, Vol. 2, Taschen, Cologne, 2002, p. 602)
