What is Man? A miserable little pile of secrets. In a world in which everything is subject to the passing of time, art alone is both subject to time and yet victorious over it. To command is to serve, nothing more and nothing less.

There is always a need for intoxication: China has opium, Islam has hashish, the West has woman.
To understand what the outside of an aquarium looks like, it's better not to be a fish.

Η τέχνη είναι ο πιο σύντομος δρόμος από άνθρωπο σε άνθρωπο. Ο πολιτισμός είναι αυτό που κάνει τον άνθρωπο κάτι περισσότερο από ένα ατύχημα του σύμπαντος. Ένας καλλιτέχνης ανακαλύπτει την ιδιοφυΐα του τη μέρα που θα τολμήσει να μην είναι αρεστός. Αν δεν μπορείς να κάνεις τέχνη, κάνε τη ζωή σου έργο τέχνης.
