“Most great artists define a new and unique region of hell.”
“I shall tell you where we are. We're in the most extreme and utter region of the human mind. A dim, subconscious underworld. A radiant abyss where men meet themselves. Hell, Netley. We're in Hell.”
“The defining function of the artist is to cherish consciousness.”
“When you judge a woman by her appearance, it doesn't define her, it defines you. Ladies, never allow yourself to be defined by someone's inability to appreciate your unique beauty.”
“A little artist has all the tragic unhappiness and the sorrows of a great artist and he is not a great artist.”
“The Gospel worldview equips the artist with a unique combination of optimism and realism about life.”
