Art is a journey into the most unknown thing of all - oneself. Nobody knows his own frontiers… I don’t think I’d ever want to take a road if I knew where it led.

To live in this world
you must be able
to do three things:
to love what is mortal;
to hold it
against your bones knowing
your own life depends on it;
and, when the time comes to let it go,
to let it go.

… you have asked me what i would do and what i would not do. i will tell you what i will do and what i will not do. i will not serve that in which i no longer believe whether it call itself my home, my fatherland, or my church: and i will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as i can and as wholly as i can, using for my defence the only arms i allow myself to use — silence, exile, and cunning… … you made me confess the fears that i have. but i will tell you also what i do not fear. i do not fear to be alone or to be spurned for another or to leave whatever i have to leave. and i am not afraid to make a mistake, even a great mistake, a lifelong mistake and perhaps as long as eternity too…
