If I cannot overwhelm with my quality, I will overwhelm with my quantity.
From Emile Zola
I defy you to find any real will, any reasoning force, outside of life. And everything is there; there is, in the world, no other will than this force which impels everything to life, a life even broader and higher.
The fate of animals is of greater importance to me than the fear of appearing ridiculous; it is indissolubly connected with the fate of men.
If you ask me what I came into this life to do, I will tell you: I came to live out loud.
I am little concerned with beauty or perfection. I don't care for the great centuries. All I care about is life, struggle, intensity.
When people have not the same ideas, it is certainly better not to talk about them.
The truth is on the march and nothing will stop it.
If you shut up truth, and bury it underground, it will but grow.
Selling beauty is something I can understand. Even selling false beauty seems perfectly natural; it's a sign of progress.
One must be arrogant, indeed, to imagine that one can take everything in one's hand and know everything!
