"The world is not a problem to be solved, but a mystery to be lived."

"A man's work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened."

"The only true justice is vengeance."

"It is by the light of the sun that we see the world, but it is by the light of the spirit that we understand it."

"The evil that is in the world comes from ignorance, and good intentions may do as much harm as malevolence if they lack understanding."
