“Great artists are a little too gifted to be bound by boxes and labels, and in saying that, the label 'artist' is to be used lightly.”

“To be a philosopher, just reverse everything you have ever been told...and have a sense of humor doing it.”

“The artist lives to have stories to tell and to learn to tell them well.”

“In the philosophical dialect, a cynic takes an insult as a compliment since opposition is already his style.”

“A man does not have to feel less than human to realize his sin; oppositely, he has to realize that he gets no special vindication for his sin.”
