“There is no Art made without power, and there is no reason for Art to be made except for power.”

“Power doesn’t always roar.... The art of exerting power is an art used in doses - the more hidden it is the more effective.”

“Mastering the art of seduction gives one a great power, and like any power, it's to be wielded with responsibility; a man who wields the art of seduction without a sense of responsibility and restraint is a walking proximity bomb of viral epidemics, needless procreation, heartbroken families, and shattered dreams.”

“If the two meanings of 'heart' are 'center' and 'part,' then the word 'art' also forms a perplexing doubleness: it is something human-made with materials; that is, it is made of us. Art is life. And yet it is distinct from 'life.' Art is life's counterpoint. We make it, and in that making, art is pointedly not life. It is just made of us.”

“...art is made by the alone for the alone… The reward of art is not fame or success but intoxication...”

“Art is science made clear.”
