What I expect from any work of art is that it surprises me, that it violates my customary valuations of things and offers me other, unexpected ones.

Art doesn't go to sleep in the bed made for it. It would sooner run away than say its own name: what it likes is to be incognito. Its best moments are when it forgets what its own name is.

For me, insanity is super sanity. The normal is psychotic. Normal means lack of imagination, lack of creativity.

Normal means lack of imagination and creativity.

There is no art without intoxication. But I mean a mad intoxication! Let reason teeter! Delirium! The highest degree of delirium! Plunged in burning dementia! Art is the most enrapturing orgy within man's reach.. Art must make you laugh a little and make you a little afraid. Anything as long as it doesn't bore.

Dancing is the last word in life. In dancing one draws nearer to oneself.

Art must make you laugh a little and make you a little afraid. Anything as long as it doesn't bore.
