“Artists exist to show us the world. So do windows.”
“History shows us a window into our past. Historical fiction can take us by the and and lead us into that world.”
“To be an artist, you need to exist in a world of silence.”
“For an artist, there's nothing better than having the opportunity to create a world that doesn't- but could- exist.”
“As the beautiful does not exist for the artist and poet alone—though these can find in it more poignant depths of meaning than other men—so the world of Reality exists for all; and all may participate in it, unite with it, according to their measure and to the strength and purity of their desire.”
“The artist brings something into the world that didn't exist before, and he does it without destroying something else. ”
