I didn't have any interest in traditional art.

Art! Who comprehends her? With whom can one consult concerning this great goddess?

This being so, it follows that mythology ought not to take the prominent place that is too often assigned to it in the scientific study of ancient faiths.

I didn't study Greek mythology in school and I wish I had.

I have not intended to denigrate or hurt the beliefs of anyone through my art.

There are certain things in ancient practices that are not worth adhering to.

But, strictly speaking, this mythology was no essential part of ancient religion, for it had no sacred sanction and no binding force on the worshippers.

The Moon! Artemis! the great goddess of the splendid past of men! Are you going to tell me she is a dead lump?

I don't do any art to please any people.
