The artist who aims at perfection in everything achieves it in nothing.
A taste for simplicity cannot endure for long.
What moves those of genius, what inspires their work is not new ideas, but their obsession with the idea that what has already been said is still not enough.
Talent does whatever it wants to do. Genius does only what it can.
Do not be troubled for a language, cultivate your soul and she will show herself.
Without freedom, no art; art lives only on the restraints it imposes on itself, and dies of all others.
Every science begins as philosophy and ends as art.
Art is either plagiarism or revolution.
We have no problem making art that's almost obnoxiously gay.
Art has two constant, two unending concerns: It always meditates on death and thus always creates life. All great, genuine art resembles and continues the Revelation of St John.
