My abyss speaks, I have turned my ultimate depth inside out into the light.

Art is the great stimulus to life.

A thinker sees his own actions as experiments and questions--as attempts to find out something. Success and failure are for him answers above all.

Never to talk about oneself is a very refined form of hypocrisy.

The truth is ugly: we have art so as not to perish from the truth.

He who strays from the customary becomes a sacrifice to the extraordinary; he who keeps to the customary becomes its slave. He iscondemned to perish in either case.

Better know nothing than half-know many things.
