Absolute catholicity of taste is not without its dangers. It is only an auctioneer who should admire all schools of art.

I will not bare my soul to their shallow prying eyes. My heart shall never be put under their microscope.

An idea that isn't risky is hardly worth calling an idea.

I am quite incapable of understanding how any work of art can be criticized from a moral standpoint. The sphere of art and the sphere of ethics are absolutely distinct and separate.

Sin is the only real colour element left in modern life.

All criticism is a form of autobiography

The only way to get rid of tempation is to yeild to it.
