The word "art" does not designate the concept of a mere eventuality; it is a concept of rank.

Is the earth in our head? Or do we stand on the earth?

There is no such thing as an empty word, only one that is worn out yet remains full.

Every man is born as many men and dies as a single one.

If I take death into my life, acknowledge it, and face it squarely, I will free myself from the anxiety of death and the pettiness of life - and only then will I be free to become myself.

I take great pleasure, every day, in seeing my work deeply rooted in our native soil.

To think is to confine yourself to a single thought that one day stands still like a star in the world's sky.
