Art is individualism, and individualism is a disturbing and disintegrating force.

To call an artist morbid because he deals with morbidity as his subject-matter is as silly as if one called Shakespeare mad because he wrote ‘King Lear.

The secret of life is in art.

Art is the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known.

Art is the only serious thing in the world. And the artist is the only person who is never serious.

Art is the most intense mode of invidualism that the world has known.
