There is only one valuable thing in art: the thing you cannot explain.

Emotion should not be rendered by an excited trembling; it can neither be added on nor be imitated. It is the seed, the work is the flower.

Art is meant to disturb. Science reassures.

The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures.

The things that Picasso and I said to one another during those years will never be said again, and even if they were, no one would understand them anymore. It was like being roped together on a mountain.

I like the rule that corrects emotion.

Art upsets, science reasures.
