Art gives those unexpressed parts of ourselves permission to be felt and spoken.

A scientist is proud of his intelligence, an artist is proud of his imagination.

You need feeling, emotion, to create. You can't create out of indifference.

Nothing is a mistake. There’s no win and no fail. There’s only make.

It's hard to explain your passions, but sometimes it is harder to live them.

All colors are the friends of their neighbors and the lovers of their opposites.

It’s an artist’s right to rebel against the world’s stupidity.

They lived off each other's hypocrisy, fuelling a worthless market of trash.

For me, art that's alive and urgent is about what it is to be a human being.

Thinking is not a thing that can undo itself. It can never be its own solution.

It's far more difficult to disfigure a great work of art than to create one.

A writer should have the precision of a poet and the imagination of a scientist.

He who wars against the arts, wars not against nations, but against all mankind.

I believed that I wanted to be a poet, but deep down I just wanted to be a poem.

The world before us is a postcard, and I imagine the story we are writing on it.
