The aim of art is to project an inner vision into the world, to state in aesthetic creation the deepest psychic and personal experiences of a human being. It is to enable those experiences to be intelligible and generally recognized within the total framework of an ideal world.

Take things as they are. Punch when you have to punch. Kick when you have to kick.
Low aim, not failure, is the crime.
Man, the living creature, the creating individual, is always more important than any established style or system.
