In my dreams, I never have an age.

If I didn't get fond I could be happy all the time.

When we can play with the unself-conscious concentration of a child, this is: art: prayer: love.

Like all great fantasists, he has taught me about life, life in eternity rather than chronology, life in that time in which we are real.

When the artist is truly the servant of the work, the work is better than the artist; Shakespeare knew how to listen to his work, and so he often wrote better than he could write; Bach composed more deeply, more truly than he knew, Rembrandt's brush put more of the human spirit on canvas than Rembrandt could comprehend. When the work takes over, then the artist is enabled to get out of the way, not to interfere. When the work takes over, then the artist listens.

Speaking of ways, pet, by the way, there is such a thing as a tesseract.

I believe that each work of art, whether it is a work of great genius, or something very small, comes to the artist and says, "Here I am. Enflesh me. Give birth to me."
