It used to be that painters were crazy and sculptors clever. Today it's the other way around.

When I close my eyes my vision is even more powerful.

Everything has two aspects: the current aspect, which we see nearly always and which ordinary men see, and the ghostly and metaphysical aspect, which only rare individuals may see in moments of clairvoyance and metaphysical abstraction.

One must picture everything in the world as an enigma, and live in the world as if in a vast museum of strangeness.

Art is the fatal net which catches these strange moments on the wing like mysterious butterflies, fleeing the innocence and distraction of common men.
