Every great masterpiece is a purification of the world.
And when man faces destiny, destiny ends and man comes into his own.
To understand what the outside of an aquarium looks like, it's better not to be a fish.
The thrill of creation which we experience which we experience when we see a masterpiece is not unlike the feeling of the artist who created it; such a work is a fragment of the world which he has annexed and which belongs to him alone.
The most important thing in life is to see to it that you are never beaten.
As for the outside world, the artist is confronted by what he sees; but what he sees is primarily what he looks at.
