| Art is the symbol of the two noblest human efforts: to construct and to refrain from destruction. |
| Don't give your opinions about Art and the Purpose of Life. They are of little interest and, anyway, you can't express them. Don't analyze yourself.

| I think to be oversensitive about cliches is like being oversensitive about table manners. |
| I'm one of the blind alleys off the main road of procreation. |
