“No true artist is possible without sorrow and suffering and renunciation.”
“It's the sorrow you feel that allows you to crave love. Without the suffering, there would be no true pleasure. Without tears, no joy. Without deficiency, no longing. This is the secret of the human heart, Rom.”
“You can't lead a true life without suffering”
“A little artist has all the tragic unhappiness and the sorrows of a great artist and he is not a great artist.”
“Sorrowful and great is the artist's destiny.”
“Transformationwithout work and pain, without suffering, without a sense of lossis just an illusion of true change.”
