“In life, as in art, talking vitiates doing.”
“Wars, for us, are either inevitable, or created. Whatever they are, they should not wholly vitiate art. What art needs is greater men, and what politics needs is better men.(Something About a Soldier (1940))”
“Sometimes it is better not to talk about art by using the word "art". If we just act with awareness and integrity, our art will flower, and we don't have to talk about it at all.”
“Prayer – The Art Of Talking To Yourself”
“Life is art, Joe. Living is artistry. What we do, you and me, is artifice, but if it is artfully done, then it is art. What else is there but that which we create?”
“The function of art is to make people like life more than they do.”
