Rome is not outside me, but inside me.. Her feverish sweetness, her tragic countryside, her own beauty and harmony, all these are mine, for my thought and my work.

It is your duty in life to save your dream.

I want to be a tuneswept fiddle string that feels the master melody, and snaps.

When I know your soul, I will paint your eyes.

The function of art is to struggle against obligation.

You are not alive unless you know you are living.

With one eye you are looking at the outside world, while with the other you are looking within yourself.
