One Cannot Create An Art

The Attempt To Force Human Beings To Despise Themselves Is What I Call Hell.

There Is Always A Need For Intoxication: China Has Opium, Islam Has Hashish, The West Has Woman.

The Artist Is Not The Transcriber Of The World, He Is Its Rival.

Every Creation Is, At Its Root, The Struggle Between Potential Form And Imitated Form.

Surely That Little Pseudo-gothic Church On Broadway, Hidden Amongst The Skyscrapers, Is Symbolic Of The Age! On The Whole Face Of The Globe The Civilization That Has Conquered It Has Failed To Build A Temple Or A Tomb.
