First one works alone through the mind, then before the public through experience.

Precepts, conventions - above all traditions - have no value in art.

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.

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

... does it seem to you that it is possible to speak of Art? It would be the same as explaining love!

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!

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