There can be nothing exclusive about substantial art. It comes directly out of the heart of the experience of life and thinking about life and living life.

Every great inspiration is but an experiment - though every experiment we know, is not a great inspiration.

An apparent confusion, if lived with long enough, may become orderly . . . A rare experience of a moment at daybreak, when something in nature seems to reveal all consciousness, cannot be explained at noon. Yet it is part of the day's unity

The fabric of existence weaves itself whole.

You cannot set art off in a corner and hope for it to have vitality, reality, and substance.

A song has a few rights the same as ordinary citizens... if it happens to feel like flying where humans cannot fly... to scale mountains that are not there, who shall stop it?

Every great inspiration is but an experiment.
