“Art and revolt will die only with the last man.”
“It is rather frightening to be able to write so revoltingly, yet so successfully. All these letters are works of art, except, perhaps, the last. They are positively oily.”
“Art is revolt against fate.”
“How do you ask a man to be the last man to die in Vietnam? How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?”
“What art thou Faustus, but a man condemned to die?”
“Without freedom, no art; art lives only on the restraints it imposes on itself, and dies of all others.”
