“The art of living is always to make a good thing out of a bad thing.”
“The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant.”
“If goodness can't come from bad things, it makes bad things unbearable.”
“We...believe that art is religious, because it is one of man's highest aspirations. There is no such thing as pagan art, only good and bad art.”
“Why do bad things happen to good people?To balance out the good things that happen to bad people.”
“This is the art of courage: to see things as they are and still believe that the victory lies not with those who avoid the bad, but those who taste, in living awareness, every drop of the good.”
