“My loathings are simple: stupidity, oppression, crime, cruelty, soft music.”

“Chocolate is like my best friend and the most intense pleasure at the same time, perhaps not the most intense, but the most regular and reliable one.”

Museums are just a lot of lies, and the people who make art their business are mostly imposters.' -Picasso”

“Now I say, that with cruelty and oppression it is everybody's business to interfere when they see it; you did right my boy.”
