I can't stand people that do not take food seriously.

What seems to us as bitter trials are often blessings in disguise

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.

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.

History is merely gossip

Art, like Nature, has her monsters, things of bestial shape and with hideous voices.

Would you like to know the great drama of my life? It is that I have put my genius into my life...I have put only my talent into my works.
