"Without freedom, no art; art lives only on the restraints it imposes on itself, and dies of all others."
"Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal."
"How can sincerity be a condition of friendship? A taste for truth at any cost is a passion which spares nothing."
"A man's work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened."
