“Artists often enslave their friends.”
“A good artist should laugh often!”
“Degenerates are not always criminals, anarchists, and pronounced lunatics; They are often authors and artists.”
“Bad artists ignore the darkness of human existence. Good artists often get stuck there. Great artists embrace the full catastrophe of our condition and find beyond it an even deeper truth of peace, healing, and redemption.”
“Enslavement of the heart is worse than enslavement of the body”
“We often find ourselves at ease with that with which we are most familiar, regardless of whether or not the trait serves us well in the end. Is that not yet another example of how we enslave ourselves?”
