The one happiness is to shut one's door upon a little room, with a table before one, and to create; to create life in that isolation from life.

If I were twenty or thirty years younger, I would start afresh in this field with the certainty of accomplishing much. But I should have to learn from the bottom up, forgetting the theatre entirely and concentrating on the special medium of this new art. My mistake, and that of many others, lay in employing "theatrical" techniques despite every effort to avoid them. Here is something quite, quite fresh, a penetrating form of visual poetry, an untried exponent of the human soul. Alas, I am too old for it!

If I had my will, I would live in a ship on the sea and never come nearer to humanity than that!

All that I have to offer as an artist is the revelation of my soul

To help, to continually help and share, that is the sum of all knowledge; that is the meaning of art.

I use everything that I pick up in my memory, and everything that vibrates in my soul.

To save the Theatre, the Theatre must be destroyed, and actors and actresses all die of the Plague ... they make art impossible.
