The sign of a Philistine age is the cry of immorality against art.

To be really mediæval one should have no body. To be really modern one should have no soul. To be really Greek one should have no clothes.

What the artist is always looking for is the mode of existence in which soul and body are one and indivisible: in which the outward is expressive of the inward: in which form reveals.

I can believe anything provided it is quite incredible.

It is only about things that do not interest one that one can give a really unbiased opinion, which is no doubt the reason why an unbiased opinion is always absolutely valueless.

It is the stupid and the ugly who have the best of it in this world

What is mind but motion in the intellectual sphere?
