“Art always penetrates the particular fissures in one's psychic life.”
“There is a fissure in my vision and madness will always rush through.”
“Did tragedy cause fissures, open them wider--or did tragedy merely turn on the light so you could see the fissure that had always been there?”
“Art is long. Life is short. A picture can become for us a highway between a particular thing and a universal feeling.”
“It may, after all, be the bad habit of creative talents to invest themselves in pathological extremes that yield remarkable insights but no durable way of life for those who cannot translate their psychic wounds into significant art or thought.”
“No matter how hard life is, though the sky falls, earth fissure and heart shatter ... Life must keep go on.”
