“I would like to perfect the art of being studiously aloof”
“I perfected the art of being uninteresting.”
“There would not be a perfect likeness of God in the universe if all things were of one grade of being.”
“Some sort of pressure must exist; the artist exists because the world is not perfect. Art would be useless if the world were perfect, as man wouldn’t look for harmony but would simply live in it. Art is born out of an ill-designed world.”
“Great art is never perfect; perfect art is never great.”
“O great creator of being grant us one more hour to perform our art and perfect our lives.”
