If you ask me what I came to do in this world, I, an artist,... - Emile Zola

"The truth is on the march and nothing will stop it."

"The artist is nothing without the gift, but the gift is nothing without work."

"I am an artist... I am here to live out loud."

"Civilization will not attain to its perfection until the last stone from the last church falls on the last priest."
