“Normal people do not create art.”

“No artist is normal. Who happen to be normal cannot be an artist.”

“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.”

“Art destroys the life.”

“The maximum value of art is that it allows the artist to express himself.”

“Each of us has his own alphabet with which to create poetry.”

“Art is amoral; so is life. For me there are no obscene pictures or books; there are only poorly conceived and poorly executed ones.”
