"A compromise is the art of dividing a cake in such a way that everyone believes that he has got the biggest piece."

Art is either plagiarism or revolution.
Art requires philosophy, just as philosophy requires art. Otherwise, what would become of beauty?
Civilization is what makes you sick.
I have always wanted a mistress who was fat, and I have never found one. To make a fool of me, they are always pregnant.

In art, all who have done something other than their predecessors have merited the epithet of revolutionary; and it is they alone who are masters.
In art, one idea is as good as another. If one takes the idea of trembling, for instance, all of a sudden most art starts to tremble. Michelangelo starts to tremble. El Greco starts to tremble. All the Impressionists start to tremble.
It is the eye of ignorance that assigns a fixed and unchangeable color to every object; beware of this stumbling block.
Life has no meaning unless one lives it with a will, at least to the limit of one's will. Virtue, good, evil are nothing but words, unless one takes them apart in order to build something with them; they do not win their true meaning until one knows how to apply them.
Life is hardly more than a fraction of a second. Such a little time to prepare oneself for eternity!
