“Great art is as irrational as great music. It is mad with its own loveliness.”
“All great art has madness, and quite a lot of bad art has it, too.”
“When we rejoice in beautiful scenery, great art, and great music, it is but the flexing of instincts acquired in another place and another time.”
“Many great ideas, great love stories, and great achievements are born from a healthy irrationality.”
“Every great work of art has two faces: one toward its own time and one toward the future, toward eternity.”
“There are only four great arts: music, painting, sculpture, and ornamental pastry - architecture being the least banal derivative of the latter.”
