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.

Writing is not describing, painting is not depicting. Verisimilitude is merely an illusion.

I do not believe in objects. I believe only in their relationships.

It is the unforeseeable that creates the event.
