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.

Normal means lack of imagination and creativity.

There is no art without intoxication. But I mean a mad intoxication! Let reason teeter! Delirium!

The real function of art is to change mental patterns ... making new thought possible.

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.

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