If a mistake is not a stepping stone, it is a mistake.

Every work of art is about everything.

Concealment is equated, unknowingly to ourselves, with individuality; the more we conceal the more it seems we are asserting our very personality, resisting a somewhat repellent, unwelcome intrusion of other things into ourselves.

Art is a way of showing greater fairness to things than is customary.

Originality in art puts charm where it wasn't.

All beauty is a making one of opposites, and the making one of opposites is what we are going after in ourselves.

Art can make the old surprising, and the new and sudden soothing.
