“Goodness is nothing in the furnace of art.”
“The art of living has no history: it does not evolve: the pleasure which vanishes vanishes for good, there is no substitute for it. Other pleasures come, which replace nothing. No progress in pleasures, nothing but mutations.”
“Good art however "immoral" is wholly a thing of virtue. Good art can not be immoral. By good art I mean art that bears true witness, I mean the art that is most precise.”
“Goals are the fuel in the furnace of achievement.”
“The brain is a furnace./Is transformed and transforms.”
“Art has nothing to do with taste. Art is not there to be tasted”
