Inspiration comes of working every day.
From Charles Baudelaire
I consider it useless and tedious to represent what exists, because nothing that exists satisfies me. Nature is ugly, and I prefer the monsters of my fancy to what is positively trivial.
Even if it were proven that God didn't exist, Religion would still be Saintly and Divine.
We are all born marked for evil.
Modernity signifies the transitory, the fugitive, the contingent, the half of art of which the other half is the eternal and the immutable.
In order for the artist to have a world to express he must first be situated in this world, oppressed or oppressing, resigned or rebellious, a man among men.
Music fathoms the sky.
This life is a hospital in which every patient is possessed with a desire to change his bed.
To be a great man and a saint for oneself, that is the only important thing.
Any man who does not accept the conditions of life sells his soul.
