It is not peace that I seek, but life.
Every race, every art has its hypocrisy. The world is fed with a little truth and many lies.
I find war detestable but those who praise it without participating in it even more so.
Most men are essentially dead by thirty.
It is the artist's business to create sunshine when the sun fails.
There is no joy other than the joy of creating. There is no man who is truly alive other than one who is creating. All others are just shadows on the earth with nothing to do with being alive. The joy of living, whether it is love or action, is the joy of creating.
