Who am I to tamper with a masterpiece?

Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes.

When a woman marries again, it is because she detested her first husband. When a man marries again, it is because he adored his first wife. Women try their luck; men risk theirs.

It is only through Art and through Art only that we can realize our perfection; Through Art and art only that we can shield ourselves from the sordid perils of actual existence.

Nothing is so dangerous as being too modern; one is apt to grow old fashioned quite suddenly.

The artistic life is a long, lovely suicide.

The one person who has more illusions than the dreamer is the man of action.
